[linux-audio-dev] 30db loudness difference at these cases

[Andrew Gaydenko]

Hi, All!

I'm rather frustrated with my situation, so I'm not sure which
mailing list is the most appropriate for my question.

I have Terratec Aureon 7.1 Space card which is used with ICE1724 alsa
driver (1.0.8, 1.0.9a). An appropriate .asoundrc fragment is shown below.
All works fine except for at some cases a sound level is about 30db lower
rather at another cases. Of course, alsamixer settings are the same.

--- "Normal" cases are: ---

1. Playing back with aqualung this way:

aqualung -o alsa -d default

2. Using any JACK-enabled app (ReZound, aqualung)

--- "-30db" cases are: ---

1. aplay -d default <file>

2. xine engine with any frontend (amaroK, Kaffeine)


Will anybody be so kind to suggest steps to find this difference
reason?

Andrew
