Soundcards Volume Settings, 100% or 0 dB Level?
It seems obvious for PC audio that when using an external amplifier for speakers or headphones the master volume should be 100%, and you should control volume by the amplifier, in theory this way should guarantee the best SQ possible, Well this is true for a lot of cards where the max volume...- sonci
