Hi Neil
Is there a setting somewhere in the (ALSA) driver to set the maximum output to 'line level' so I can set kmix at 100% and get good volume and no distortion?
Semi-recently in alsamixer (alsamixer v1.0.14 is what i'm using at the moment), I noticed a dB gain read out at the top, adjust this to 0 and good volume with no (extra(!)) distortion. My current card, is a built-in realtek alc888, and 100% is gain 0.00, however on a previous card (which i removed because of driver issues) it was something like 84%.
