Consumer levels are -10dBV while pro audio levels are +4dBu. And you 
have to be more specific what to measure.

How about this: You do what you want with the consumer boards, and leave 
the pro guys alone. Pro drivers are not 'broken' if they don't 
implement such a 'feature', they are pro drivers.
