Thanks for the link to the GUI, I'll give that a look. I agree that it seems I shouldn't need Scarlett volume control (outside of what's on the box). The sound is clean going into the 2i2, and sounds good when I plug headphones into the 2i2. I've got the gain turned all the way down, too.
I'll keep digging around, and reply with the solution when I figure it out.
Terry
Thanks again,
Terry

Hi,
this is a class compliant device, hence there are usually no volume
controls at all.
For a 1st generation 2i2 a mixer is available, see
https://github.com/x42/scarlett-mixer . It might work with a 2nd and
3rd generation 2i2, too.
It's a long time ago that I tested it with a 2nd generation 18i20, but
it didn't work for this device.
However, there's absolutely no need at all for Scarlett mixer volume
controls, unless you want to rout for monitoring purpose. Loudness and
distortion are caused by something, that is wrong with your setup, so
you need to fix that.
Regards,
Ralf
