[linux-audio-user] alsa slight distortion starting at -5dB?

[peter plessas]

Hi.

Excuse me if this has been discussed already on this list (i don't find 
a refernce to the thread if there was one).

I just discovered some slight distortion with a pure sine tone playing 
from pd or supercollider via OSS emu or jack thru my HDSP 
(PCI&Multiface) whenever the output level was more than -5dB (peak 
value, i think).

Alsa drivers are of version 1.0.4
Is this an software issue?

Thanks for any hints!

Peter
