'Twas brillig, and Raymond Yau at 19/06/10 01:39 did gyre and gimble: > To simpify the implementation of the slider , a new "PA dB scale" is used > by shift those +12dB(base volume) to 0dB and insist that every sound card 's > minimum_dB is -inf dB , No. -inf dB is -inf dB. If the card does not go down to -inf dB, PA will extend the range in software. If a card only goes down to -12dB minimum the range -12dB -> -infdB will be done in software. Lennart explained this very clearly to you already. > This mean that all sound cards will now have same "PA dB range" , the > volume slider does not need resize or rescaling any more. This is why they > prefer to use percentage to make you believe their calculation of dB is > correct WTF? "prefer to use percentage"? What the hell are you talking about?
