That is, the manufacturer created a mechanism which differentiates between PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) stream, coming from, say, FLAC file, and does not affect its volume, and between PCM stream, coming from terminal bell/beep, and does affect its volume ? And what is the physical mechanism behind this ? What does the word "weird" mean in this context ? Are you sure it's a weird card and not a weird driver ? I have only one soundcard in my machine, the onboard Realtek ALC883/HDA NVidia.
