Yes, definitely seems that the gain setting isn't being picked up properly. You only have one InguzDSP.exe.config file, and it's in the same folder as InguzDSP.exe, right? -- inguz inguz's Profile:

Damn! I had two instances of Slimserver installs! Only one is actually running, but I was going to the older (defunct) install to adjust the config file. Thanks for that suggestion, Hugh. Talk about brain dead! -- tonyptony

Woo-hoo! Thank Hugh. That did it. I had to crank the Gain down to -19dB, but that cleaned it up fine. I guess my description of what I was hearing was pretty bad! :-) The one remaining question, though, is why does Inguz allow any processing at all to happen even if EQ is set to None? Recall

Partly to keep volume fairly constant (otherwise you'd see a sudden jump when adjusting EQ away from flat), and partly so it can respond in the middle of a track... -- inguz inguz's Profile:

Makes sense. Does reducing the gain like this hurt things in any way? Reduction in effective bits, or anything like that? -- tonyptony tonyptony's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3397 View this

No... unless it's *way* low, in which case there are I think three risks. 1) worse S/N ratio, 2) more amp power needed, and 3) if anything suddenly starts playing at really full volume, more chance of damaging your speakers ;-) (The other night I had a power glitch or something, which caused a

I've discovered a very odd problem. It appears to be very specific to the Alison Krauss and Union Station Live 2 disc set. This may get a bit long... I have all my music ripped to my HD, of course, and I've been using Inguz for a while. I use EAC and the FLAC (either 1.11a or 1.12, can't

I can't help you with the CD as I don't own it, but I can say that the gain control works for me. I needed to kill any instances of the InguzDSP process and restart slimserver for the new gain settings to take effect but after that it was fine. Marc. -- sugarmonster Toys:

Ah. I didn't do that. The instructions said to just FF to the next track. Although at one point I did try stopping and restarting Slimserver, but I did not kill the inguz process. -- tonyptony tonyptony's Profile:

I tried Marc's method to insure that the Gain setting would work. I don't think it is; I had the Gain set to -22dB. Here's what I got out of the log.txt file: 20070927211456: InguzDSP (version 0.9.25) -id 00:04:20:06:3f:40 -wav -wavo -d 24 20070927211456: InguzDSP (version 0.9.25) -id
