OOTB it patches analog inputs through to the outputs ...which would mean that you if you listen to an input, you mix it with a copy of itself delayed by the buffer size. That would definately sound weird, and could explain Ralf's experience. > Not just that, my focusrite sounds crappy when the outputs are "too > loud" in alsamixer. means over 80% its not usable. so maybe that is an > issue, Ralf? That's definately an issue with my 18i8 first-gen as well. When I set an output control to more than 0db, the output doesn't clip -- it integer-wraps, which causes really evil distortion. I confirmed that with an oscilloscope. I'm not sure whether this is a Linux driver issue, or bad design. It shouldn't be possible to turn volume up beyond the 0db setting if that causes such distortion.
