I want to increase gain of the ADC channel. To achieve this I'm using adc_set_channel_input_gain function from adc.h. Here is the entire sketch:

const byte aPin = A6;

void setup() {
  analogReadResolution(12);

  // Configure ADC gain
  // Arduino/hardware/arduino/sam/system/libsam/include/adc.h
  adc_channel_num_t ch = (adc_channel_num_t)(g_APinDescription[aPin].ulADCChannelNumber);
  adc_set_channel_input_gain(ADC, ch, ADC_GAINVALUE_3);
  Serial.begin(9600);

  // Delay for serial stabilization
  Serial.println("Begin.");
  delay(2000);
}

void loop() {
  int analog = analogRead(aPin);
  Serial.println(analog);
  delay(500);
}

The problem is that output values are not depending on the gain value.

Well, the solution was very simple. We just need to call adc_enable_anch() before changing gain or offset of the ADC. I improved my setup and the sketch works as expected now:

void setup() {
  analogReadResolution(12);

  // Configure ADC gain
  // Arduino/hardware/arduino/sam/system/libsam/include/adc.h
  adc_channel_num_t ch = (adc_channel_num_t)(g_APinDescription[aPin].ulADCChannelNumber);
  adc_enable_anch(ADC); 
  adc_set_channel_input_gain(ADC, ch, ADC_GAINVALUE_3);

  Serial.begin(9600);

  // Delay for serial stabilization
  Serial.println("Begin.");
  delay(2000);
}
