Delta 1010LT Variable Input & Output levels?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




To any Delta 1010LT/Envy24control gurus:


First I want to state that I am aware that analog inputs #1 & #2 for this card can be configured via on-card jumpers to either of 2 Mic levels or either of 2 Line levels. My questions below do not pertain to these jumpers. (Although in talking about jumper settings for each of the 2 Line level options here, the manual mentions a "+4 mode" that I'm not familiar with, so if someone wants to explain that.....it might be related to my questions below!) Anyways:


I've been reading the M-Audio manual that came with this card and it refers to the ability to control the variable input and output levels for this card. It mentions a simplified "Consumer" interface with three radio button options labeled +4dBu, "Consumer" (which the manual describes as -4dBV), -10dBV. There is also a more "Advanced" interface that uses sliders to allow finer grain control of each Input and Output individually. What I'm describing here is the PC/Mac control software that M-Audio distributes with these cards. Obviously, I'm using this card in Linux and my control software is Envy24control and Alsamixer.

Questions:

1) Can anyone tell me if the "Consumer" I/O levels (described above) actually set the hardware on the card to different dynamic range modes? What I mean here is if this is something *different* than changing the ADC/DAC slider controls in Envy24control & Alsamixer?

2) Or, are these +4dBu, Consumer (-4dBV), -10dBV buttons, just preset slider controls that one could manually set on the "Advanced" slider-based interface. And if this is the case, is this just doing the same thing the ADC/DAC slider controls are doing in Envy24control & Alsamixer?

3) If the PC/Mac control software is actually setting the card to different I/O range modes, then is this also possible with Envy24control?


Finally, I want to restate that I am not confusing the configurable I/O range limits with the Mic/Line level jumpers available on the card for analog inputs #1 & #2. What I would like to know is if there are other software configurable I/O range modes that this card is capable of running in that Envy24control is not exposing.


Thanks in advance for any hints.

Rick
