And, does this volume have any influence on the quality of recorded sound at all? If not, we should remove this control rather than keeping a dangerous thing...
Yes. This controls the microphone boost level (without boost the sound recorded has *very* low volume). Also Windows shows up a +20db microphone boost slider on this machine.
Ah, OK. Then the control seems indicates the wrong max level indeed. So, we need two fixes:
- rename "Mux Capture Volume" to more intuitive one, such as "Capture Boost" or something like that.
- limit the max level of this volume to 2.
The latter is a bit hard to fix. Let's see whether I can do some hack...
thanks,
