I'm using it since several weeks. But I think, it is not yet totally finished: On oct. 25, I wrote (to this list and to Russel): * Unfortunatedly I encountered another problem: I wasn't able to change * the LINE input's VOLUME. I modified the line volume using DAP's * X Mixer. FreeBSD's mixer reported the changed values, but input * volume did not change effectively. I cvsup'd 3.3-stable last weekend, including the 1371 stuff. Recompiled my kernel and repeated the test. No improvement. In fact, I was not able to record this cd from our concert by means of the PCI128 and had to use an old SB 16. So this is a strong problem for me, because I bought the PCI128 for its better A/D converter. I also would like to report another observation: Playing music via line out, connected to my active speakers, there are some bad sound effects at very loud parts of the music. I can not give the exact technical expression for the effect, but it seems to be a kind of dynamic limit of the system. (Even with mixer vol 40 and low speaker vol.) I can hear the same music with the same speakers and the previously mentioned SB 16 card without these problems. Is anybody out there, reading this list, who observed the same problem?
