Off topic question about Sound!

Post by Vargen »

The thing is, I don't have the greatest headset. And I can't seem to get the volume I want on it. I borrowed a headset from a friend, really nice one, very expensive. Didn't get any better sound in them, only the bass was different.

Is there possible for me by any codec fix this? So I can get my volume up. In ET and other games I think it's pretty ok. But when I watch compressed movies, the sound can be terribly low. And I have to plug in my speakers.

I have Analog Device's SoundMAX 4. Any suggestions?

sound decoded by ac3filter tends to be very low by default, but you can adjust that in the codec configuration.

go to the mixer tab, select speakers: 2/0 Stereo

check auto-matrix, uncheck normalize matrix, if it's still too low, play with the master gain.

Thanks for the tip. Where actually in and try the settings, but didn't give me the boost I was hoping for.. It can't be my soundcard that's not beeing able to giving me higher volume. I mean, It's not even high when I get it to max when listening to MP3's..

I believe my answer can be more stupid, depends. :)
I use the same plug as for the speakers to go into, so that must be line out.

ok there we go.

lineout is low level output. Try to plug the headset into the headphone (usually its green) plughole
