Thanks Daniel,

I checked out again from SVN and rebuilt. Now I have the test-volume program but this is what I get when I try to run it:

$ ./test-volume 0 5 -32768
/home/hector/Desktop/libfreebob/tests/.libs/lt-test-volume: symbol lookup error: /home/hector/Desktop/libfreebob/tests/.libs/lt-test-volume: undefined symbol: _ZN16FunctionBlockCmdC1EP15Ieee1394ServiceNS_18EFunctionBlockTypeEhNS_17EControlAttributeE

Also I noticed that on that old thread where this test utility is discussed ( http://linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2006-November/039911.html ) there is mention of not being able to set the outputs with it. Is this still true? What I need is to lower the volume of the outputs. Also in that thread there is mention of a "mixer" for doing that. Would that be a software mixer part of the FA-101 drivers present in Windows? I can't see any reference to a software mixer in the FA-101 manual.

My problem is that when I plug my ADAM-A7 monitors using balanced cables the output is too hot and even causes some distortion, when using unbalanced cables the situation is better but still it feels too hot. The odd thing is that through the headphones the FA-101 level sounds normal and there is no distortion. I tested the same monitors with an M-Audio Audiophile and the level sounds normal. The A7s have volume control labeled from -60db to 6db with 0db at twelve o'clock. Using the FA-101 I can't go pass -30db (using balanced or unbalanced cables). With the audiophile I can go up to 0db and sounds fine.

I'll appreciate any help on this since I'm in the middle of several projects.

Cheers,

Hector

As it seems the test-program was moved away to the libfreebob-1.4
branch. Though this program seems really helpful I have backported to
the trunk. You can checkout the trunk again and then you should be able
to set the level according the notes.

Hope that helps,
daniel
