Among other issues, this article is incorrect when calling for the
"Device" (Master) volume level in Windows to be set to 100%. Nearly
every sound card for which I've seen test results has increased
distortion above the 70 - 80% level (-1 to -2 dB or -3 to -6 dB
depending on the driver calibration) and some "inexpensive" devices
have significant distortion above 50% (-3 or -10 dB depending on
driver calibration).
One will have a cleaner signal, all other things being the same, by
setting the Windows "Device" (Master) slider down a bit and increasing
the transceiver mic gain (Line In, DATA In, etc.) slightly. In most
cases, with the sound card "Master" at 70 - 80%, the transceiver mic
gain will still be relatively low.

Does anyone know of any rig that uses "compression" rather than linear gain
control to implement ALC?
