Uh huh, and when running skype. ekiga, audacity, or anything else that
requires this full duplex operation, it doesn't effect this particular
phenom other than turning the overall volume down, and when you run it
back up to the audible level, its still doing it with as much enthusiasm
as when you turned it down for effects. It specifically is not related
to any gain control's settings.

often sounding as if the playback is of a file
that over-drove the d/a in playback, or the a/d in the recording, eg clipped.

the ATI-IXP audio stuffs loaded
the ATIIXP in my MSI exhibits this same issue. essentially, if the 'PCM' level is
set to 100%, things are horribly overdriven. the solution is to set the Master to 100%,
and adjust volume with PCM, instead of vice versa. i guess whether this is a hardware bug
or a driver bug depends on if PCM is the last point of software contact with the stream
and master trims the levels after that, or if PCM just does some multiplication on the
bits before passing them to the Master..
