It's an ASI6514 that says Input Level -10 to +24dBu in 0.5dBu steps. Is that what you're referring to? — Patrick patr...@scnv.net > On Apr 11, 2017, at 7:08 PM, Fred Gleason wrote: > > On Apr 11, 2017, at 20:56, Patrick

[RDD] Setting ASI Input Level

2017-04-10 Thread Patrick
Is it possible to set the level of an input and output channels on an ASI card? With ALSA I used "alsamixer", but I cannot find anything similar for the ASI cards and HPI driver. The default input seems to be at 100% which is too sensitive for my broadcast console. — Patrick patr...@scnv.net
