Hello all, I have a problem with the microphones volume being way too low (compared to what the same connector does under macOS) on a USB "soundcard". I have described the whole ordeal here (with pictures and system info): http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/299322/microphone-volume-on-usb-soundcard-very-low-snd-usb-audio-options tl:dr: A "dedicated microphone adapter", eg. a C-Media USB soundcard device with an XLR mic connector (Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0d8c:0008 C-Media Electronics, Inc.) that uses snd_usb_audio yields a very low mic input even when fully turned "up" all the way under alsamixer. There's no "boost" control for the input device. The same adapter yields a clean and strong signal under a different OS. As always, thanks for any pointers, any help or encouraging words ;) Best, Christian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
