Re: [Jack-Devel] jackd and volume control

The ALSA driver is broken or unfinished, so it's not possible to tap the full potential of the RME card, however, I've got the possibility to change the output levels, so I can form an opinion regarding the importance. For audio I'm also using a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd Gen. I don't understand how I would benefit from output level control provided by jack, when using the Focusrite. It would be nice, if I could control the hardware routing of the Focusrite, but even this isn't essential. On my iPad Pro I'm using AUM and indeed AUM provides volume control, but AUM is comparable to a host, similar to jack-rack. It's possible to use apps without AUM, as it's possible to use Linux software without jack-rack, but then there is no extra volume control available, it's the same as for Linux. It's a long, long time ago that I used Windows, but IIRC ASIO didn't provide output level control. For Windows I had Totalmix for the RME card and some hardware mixer control for an Envy24 card, IOW what is know as hdspmixer and envy24control, resp. mudita24 in Linux. Btw. I'm surprised about how less jack ports are supposedly used by "most" people. I belong to those who use way more tracks and sub-groups than "most" people seem to use ports.
