The volume column has always confused me. sort of... I know about 9-0 and that F is the loudest. I dont know the rest so if someone can like, list them out like what A and D is ETC.

A - 10
B - 11
C - 12
D - 13
E - 14
F - 15

The decimal number system, what we usually use, is base 10.
But the hexadecimal numbers system is base 16. Using hex in this situation makes it so only one column is needed for volume instead of two.

It's hexadecimal. The normally used decimal system has 10 numbers (0 to 9), the hexadecimal system has 16 numbers:

Hex, Dec
0, 0
1, 1
2, 2
3, 3
4, 4
5, 5
6, 6
7, 7
8, 8
9, 9
A, 10
B, 11
C, 12
D, 13
E, 14
F, 15
10, 16
11, 17
...

Since the NES has a 4 Bit volume control and 2^4 = 16, you can control the volume via one hexadecimal digit.

EDIT: Welp, two minutes late ... oh well ...

Welp, I should have refreshed first...
______________________________________

The volume column uses hexadecimal values. Hexadecimal is a numeral system with a base of 16. The volume column accepts values from 0-F, which equates to 0-15 in decimal, which gives a total of 16 values.

0-9 are self explanatory, so I'll go over letter values:
A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
D = 13
E = 14
F = 15

For a good way to get used to this system, I recommend going to the general configuration and ticking the box "Show row numbers in hex." It will help you see how the hexadecimal system works.
