It is with considerable regret and much embarrassment that I am only now writing regarding all the posted responses to my *ancient* (2009 Aug 19!) query! :( I really *do* appreciate all the suggestions from many of this ML's members. Overall, it appears that the situation is quite complex: volume, hardware/software, s/n ratio, distortion, DACs, etc. I.e., no easy answer or "best practice". These comments, however, seemed to stand out: | Patrick Shirkey <pshirkey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | | Either way I find I am constantly adjusting the levels | to meet the situation. and | Arnold Krille <arnold@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | | You actually want to set all the volumes apart from the last one | to a high value. Time permitting, I intend to re-read all the comments and try to decide on just what approach I will take. Again, sorry for the long delay, and *thanks* for all those who took the time to share their experiences with me and the ML! -Kenneth _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
