Just got this thing in the mail. First off, I was surprised by how small and light it was. I don't have an amp so I thought I'd just use it to from my laptop to my powered speakers while at home. At least till I get some more $$ to build/purchase a small portable amp. Well, I got curious and plugged in my new Portapro2 into the line out and surprise it sounds pretty good. Defenitely an improvement. Thing is, I've heard from you all on the board that the sonica wouldn't power any headphones and that there'd be bad clipping on low impedance headphones. How come it sounds pretty good to me?? Oh and by the way, what do you all mean by "clipping"?
Also, once I installed the sonica, my volume controls in the lower right in Windows XP disappeared. And the volume buttons by the keyboard don't work. Is that because it's an external soundcard?? Does the M-audio software allow for volume controls?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
