Stan - And anyone else that can help I have done some further investigation on this problem. To describe it again. I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card. Connected to this, via the RCA inputs, is a amp, which has a record deck connected to it. The connection is via the "record out" RCA of the amp. I am using Audacity to record with. I can not set the record level in Audacity, the control has no effect on the volume of the input signal. I have tried using Envy24 Control but that has no effect whatever controls I use. I have tried to use various asound.conf files that I found on the Internet and they have no effect. I took a look at the setup using alsarecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I have also used alsamixer -V capture and found from that that I have two capture "channels" either IEC958 or H/W Mult even with both of these set "not to capture" (that is there is no red CAPTUR beneath them only ------), the volume in Audacity during recording is still way too high. I assume that I have a configuration problem somewhere, but after hours of wading through websites about alsa.conf I still can't find an answer. Stan, I do have an asound.state at /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and it is a long file that I did not want to put in an email. There didn't seem to be any clue there either. Thanks Stan for your help. I hope that there is someone out there that can provide a better insight into the mysteries of alsa. regards James stan wrote: > On Fri, 01 Jun 2007 09:49:11 +1200 > "James J.
