I have been using an AOpen AW35 sound card with the pcm driver, and the volume levels are *really* loud. As my speakers have internal amps, there is really nothing I can do there. :( So, I have been poking around with the drivers, and would like to make some observatons. With xmcd, I'm somewhat confused by the fact that there are both mixer settings and xmcd settings. For either one to be useful, I have to set the other very low. I've found that disabling the mixer conversion in snd/ad1848.c makes things liveable. The comment in the file mentions not understanding why its there.. Perhaps we could rip it out? When I am using fxtv though, it seems even more extreme. Most of the time I have the mixer set at 1 (of 100.) This is still really not low enough. :( Is there a way of telling the bt848 that it should be a bit quieter? Same results with either the external, or pass through cables. I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction here.. even if it would be a complete hack. This is a rather annoying problem. :( Thanks, Chris Csanady PS, please cc me as I am not currently on this list.
