Hi!
I can't really tell, what exactly should happen. But a digital
volume is best kep around 0DB (no attenuation). Easy to explain: In
digital sound, all the samples are numbers (usually integer, meaning
just whole numbers).
So the smaller you compress the realm of numbers (say from max 32768
to 50%), the differences in volume you can perceive are not as fine.
If you get really low down, the sound should be quite ugly. something
akin to distortion, if amplified.
I don't know about your bassy audiofeeling, but mayhap that's a side
effect,I just don't see, because I'm stupid when it comes to the finer
points. :-)
Kindly yours

Julien,
Thanks. That information is what i had suspected. I suppose i should
clarify what i mean by 'better bass'. I mean less smeared. There is a
leading edge to a cello string pluck that is not as present when the
sound card attenuation is turned down.
