analog output can support 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050 and 32000 when you turn off "IEC958 Default PCM" > > > pcm playback volume (softvol plugin also support gain) in hda-Intel.conf > > And where do I hack on the above stuffs? > http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/conf/cards/HDA-Intel.conf;hb=HEAD just change "PCM Playback Volume" similar to "Digital Capture Volume" which has both atten and gain but it won't have any effect if you are not using front device -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
