I've had it up and down, but still this is reversed for me. Having
the bass and treble at less than 50% is quieter than muting the tone
control.
It seems I have managed to do my usual trick of buying the "magic"
version of a product. The one that's slightly different to everyone
else's, in odd ways.

Well, that's not how it works on my card. I have to have the tone
control unmuted and the bass turned down to about 25% to stop
clipping. If I mute it, the volume seems equivalent to having them
both at 50%.
Stange.
Hi peeps.
Just looking for some quick advice about a new soundcard.
I'm looking at getting something like the M-Audio Audiophile 2496.
This is to replace a SB Live! Value.
Does this seem like a sensible (though cheap) move? I'm expecting a
better card.
Make sure the tone control switch is muted. It's not enough to set bass
and treble to 0, you have to disable the switch. I am working on improving the emu10k1 driver. But,
the Audiophile is
certainly a better card. You get what you pay for, and the SBLive value
is pretty amazing for a $20 soundcard but it's still a $20 soundcard.
It was $100 when I bought it, which is about how much I can get
the Audiophile for now. I'm just waiting for the cost of every other
item I want to fall to this price, too.
