[LAU] Odd volume issue with jackd

Hello. I've recently put together a (somewhat temporary) workstation. The motherboard is an Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 and I'm using the onboard audio. I don't know what the onboard audio hardware is, but it seems decent enough (no audio glitches, no noise that I can hear on the output). I'm running Arch Linux with the stock kernel. I'm using jack2. I have a completely vanilla jackd set up, with pulseaudio bridged (via Cadence). I have a separate machine that's running (the exact same version of) jackd but using the net driver to send audio to my workstation. I'm running jack_netsource on my workstation to capture audio from the second machine. Programs that are running on the second machine produce audio that sounds loud on my workstation. Programs that are running on my workstation directly produce audio that sounds almost inaudibly quiet. It doesn't seem to be a program-specific issue. All of the application-specific volume levels appear to be at 100% so I'd expect consistent volume everywhere. Why are programs on my workstation so much quieter? They're actually quiet enough to be problematic on their own. It's evidently not a hardware issue, because I can get the hardware to play loud enough sound simply by producing audio on the second machine. Is there some sort of master volume level per-machine that I can look at? Any ideas what might be causing this? -- Mark Raynsford | http://www.io7m.com
