I am not that familiar with predecessors to the X-fi.

The X-fi ASIO mixer has level controls for individual channels, as well as a "master volume control" as so many ASIO capable software mixers do.

The individual channel levels go from 0-100%, but are at 0db in the seventy five percent position!

The master volume does not even indicate where 0db is... I need to investigate this further. When you install fresh drivers, it's set at some goofy number (I think 79%). I am going to post some queries on the expansive creative forums and see if anybody knows.

It's a very valid concern and something we do need to be aware of...

If a signal is not clipping, and suddenly you're clipping, then you know you have digital gain somewhere in the signal path.

Not good.
