But if I set the master volume and PCM volume to maximum value, it is super loud. I expect it should be as loud as in M$ windows. Well if I disabled the +12dB boost in OSS driver, I got the same volume as in M$ windows. -- Sorry for my poor English - Original Message - From: p z

OSS uses diffrent way to control pcm volume as is used ALSA. OSS sets AC97 PCM volume to 0 dB or +12 dB (boost) and volume is controled by DSP code. ALSA uses AC97 PCM volume. You have range from -34,5 dB to +12 dB. If you want PCM volume from range -34,5 dB to 0 dB (this is without bost) then

Don't use 0.9.2... Emerge it like this: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge alsa-driver If you need to emerge the other alsa packages, also use the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS argument... Alsa come a long way since 0.9.2 ...:p Hope this helps :) De: Marcelo Coelho [EMAIL PROTECTED] Data: 03/10/2003

When I am using emu10k1 OSS driver, I can edit /etc/emu10k1.conf to disable the front analog channels +12dB boost. Without doing this, the volume is too high and the sound quality is bad. Is there any way to do this for ALSA driver? QAmix has a button Mic Boost +20dB with my SBLive.
