The only bug here is in your brain. > The dB scale is a _relative_ scale. To make any sense there needs to be No, it is not. 0 dB is the value where no on-card amplification takes place. If that seems to turn out louder from one card to the next even with the same equipment behind that line-out then that's unfortunate and we could fix it per-card defaults. What we definitely cannot do is redefine 0 dB to mean something else as you were suggesting for my cs4236 because you can be damn sure _I_ want to know the value where no onboard amplification or attenuation takes place. I control volume on the external amp hooked up to the card.
