When nsf just uses 1 N163 channel, the volume is too loud! Here's some nsf:

When the N163 is in 1 channel mode, it IS very loud. That is how the hardware works.

Two suggestions:

  1. Use 4 channel mode and just ignore 3 channels.

  2. Use an NSF2/NSFE mixe chunk to specify a custom N163 hardware with very quiet volume: https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/NSFe#mixe

Get it, however the N163 audio quality will change worse when it have more channels, 2nd way might be a good choice.
