Great news: I have the correct volume! Here are some mixer oddities: - The "Surround" mixer channels actually control what comes out of the line-out jack on the back of the Mac Pro (where I have my speakers plugged in). This was the case before. - The "Front Mic" mixer channels actually control the line-in jack on the back of the Mac Pro (where I have my radio's line-out plugged in). - No combination of mixer channel volumes and "Headphone" switch setting seems to control the headphone jack on the front of the Mac Pro (can't get any sound from it). Not a big deal for me, but might be for others. - The "PC Speaker" mixer channel doesn't control the internal speaker. I don't know if this is actually possible in OS X (don't have it installed). Also, I don't have an optical cable to test the digital in/out. Have not tested the other analog channels (don't have a mic, etc.). Thanks for your work fixing up the driver for the 885. -- Shaw Terwilliger Teamprise LLC http://teamprise.com/ -- Shaw Terwilliger SourceGear LLC
