My Edirol FA-101 gives off a horrendous hiss during recording AND playback (well, most people probably wouldn't even notice it consciously, but I find it horrendous), and I have concluded it is probably due to the volume control being too low and me therefore having to jerk up the pre-amps and internal headphone amp (for which there are physical controls on the device) way higher than intended. So what I would like to do is simply turn up the volume to the highest sensible point for all channels and use jack applications to control the volume. I don't need a GUI or anything for this and this is a one time operation so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU don't make me go ask some friend with a Windows PC if I can install my driver on his device. I want linux power. I also want to go around showing people things they CAN'T do with their proprietary pieces of slavery. I'm used to compiling software, just give me a quick n dirty solution, any solution! Thank you. Carlo
