Question: Which bear is best? Answer: Black Bear

Seriously though, you would need to state your criteria for the audio file for us to make a codec recommendation. Does it need to be portable? Best compression? Highest fidelity?

The codec that you choose has no affect on the loudness of audio that will be played over the device, so this should not factor into your criteria.

Is there an alternative way to increase audio? Yes, if you are recording audio from the microphone then you can amplify the audio data before you save it to a file.

Let an audio sample from the microphone be represented by the function:

f(t)

Amplification is achieved by multiplying the audio sample by some factor A

A * f(t)
