For example, I connected an external source (a MD player with very loud music in the disc) to the optical input, then to the aux input, then to the aux2 input. With the mixer settings to 100% the input level still does not go over 20-25% of the maximum amplitude (while with Windows I have to lower the input level or it will be too high). The same thing applies to the output level of my analog speakers. [I must be *very* careful when I reboot with Windows and must not forget to turn the volume knob from 10 to 2]. I had exactly the same problem when I used the emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- garden - 09-16-04 13:23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried to record a CD track (1st mov. of 5th symphony by Beethoven :-)) with a CD player with the optical output connected to the input on the audigy2 and IEC958 Capture at 100, then I tried connecting it to the RCA connectors (analog inputs, 100% volume), then I recorded it playing the CD in my CD-ROM reader (connected to the audigy2 "Audigy CD" digital input, 100% volume), then I ripped it with cdparanoia. These are the results (well, I think I went wrong with "very low level". It appears just to be "lower".) arecord (IEC958 optical input, Sony MXD-D1) Maximum amplitude: 0.835510 Minimum amplitude: -0.828491 arecord (Aux IN 2 on the front panel, Sony MXD-D1) Maximum amplitude: 0.727905 Minimum amplitude: -0.715240 arecord (AudigyCD digital audio CD input, LiteON something DVD-ROM) Maximum amplitude: 0.832703 Minimum amplitude: -0.828522 cdparanoia: Maximum amplitude: 0.933868 Minimum amplitude: -0.923676 As for the comparison windows vs linux, I'll reboot in a few minutes then I'll post the results. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jdthood - 08-30-05 12:23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi. What's the status of this bug. Any improvement in later ALSA releases?
