I understand. I do think it's a serious flaw if one of the most basic features - volume control - is not working properly. The volume curves are all but reasonable and linear VC is not working at all. Of course if you're happy with somehow going up and down on volume, fair enough. That'll do.

Hi there. Lineare HW VC update. It's running. I rewrote the linear HW VC in output_alsa.c. And it's IMO not just a dirty hack. Works great. Linear all over the place! 1click=1dB!! * It works for all DACs (PCM51xx or Sabre) * No more triple logarithm curves * No calculations or ambiguous

Some more linear HW VC thoughts output_alsa.c set_mixer function on alsa.mixer_linear definitely fails its purpose. No. It fails. Because the inputs ldB rdB are basically of no use. Then I think we're faceing "over-logarithmic" data. 1. The 16.16 fixed point left/right input from

linear HW volume - the next chapter. The 16.16 fixed point values delivered by slimproto.c just generate a 0.5 dB change per VC click. And that fixed point to dB conversion is done by sl. That's where the problems seems to be. That -0.5 dB goes straight to Alsa which of course doesn't know

Today I ran another volume control test. This time I used a Audiophonics iSabre 9038Q2M. The DAC comes with a 100 click 1db/click VC scale. It perfectly matches Alsa and LMS. There won't be any ambiguity ( 1% ->2db values) as seen on the PCM51xx. Linear "-X" should be linear. Here's what
