Clatification: Actually "qarecord" makes it look like an "over" (bright red flashing indicator) when in fact you're at 0db... That's why I thought the overload signaling in Spdif/toslink wasn't working for some reason. However, pushing the volume up higher I finally notice the "overload" LEDs flashing on the external DAC .... therefore the DMXFire performs and acts as expected w/r/t overs on its TOSLINK output. By the way, in "envy24control", does the "Reset Peaks" button do anything for anybody? Although it is a very useful interface, it is nearly impossible to see whether the meters are actually "in the red" because they flash so briefly. On both Delta 66 and the Terratec DMX6fire24/96 there is no peak-hold, and nothing changes when "Reset Peaks" is clicked. I think envy24control's behavior is a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 "envy24control "Reset Peaks" button nonfunctional; metering shows no peaks" (when it's not crashing due to string errors from the command line: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602900 ). -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
