I am under the impression that the audiophile is basically
the same under the hood as the Delta 44, which is my card.
Here is what I use:
(
amixer set 'ADC',0 100%
amixer set 'ADC',1 100%
amixer set 'ADC',2 0%
amixer set 'ADC',3 0%
amixer set 'DAC',0 100%
amixer set 'DAC',1 100%
amixer set 'DAC',2 0%
amixer set 'DAC',3 0%
amixer set 'IPGA Analog',0 100%
amixer set 'IPGA Analog',1 100%
amixer set 'IPGA Analog',2 0%
amixer set 'IPGA Analog',3 0%
) > /dev/null
The 'ADC' should be all the way up, because it is
a digital amplification factor. Better you should
turn down your mic preamp than this.
The 'IPGA Analog' setting is a regular preamp.
This one should be as low as possible for a given
source, as increasing its gain will degrade signal
to noise ratio a little bit. I have this one at %100
however, because I need a lot of gain, and the internal
preamps are exceedingly clean, at least as compared to
the ones on my mixer. The idea would be to get a nominal
level into your mixer, and then raise the Analog values
to whatever you need to hit zero dB.
Also, envy24control is a nice graphical version of the
mixer, but it does not yet allow control of the
'IPGA Analog' settings.
