I've also attached kern.log messages, which will explain why alteration of my mixer controls makes no difference to the clipping. This USB audio device is very simple, all it does is convert analogue to digital signal. Its worth noting that the clipping also occurs within windows and on another PC. aumix -d /dev/mixer -I aumix -d /dev/mixer1 -I are accessible, however make no difference to the clipping from the amp source, including IGain. Muting all parameters within aumix makes no difference to the signal. Would it be possible I've bought a dud analogue-digital converter, which suffers clipping at normal line volume? Thanks again for your help.
