If I do not play anything while PCM is at 0 and Master and Headphone are at 100, then I do not hear anything. But if I start 'playing' something while still with PCM at 0 (no sound can be heard), then I start hearing irregular clipping sound. Is that what you expected? If I decrease the sound to a level where I stop hearing clipping, then I can barely hear the music. Although the same headphones play on my player fine. And It's a shame, that I indeed hear clipping. Are there any ways to increase the sound volume without increasing the mixer setting in ALSA? Would a different sound card help? Is there any way I can solve the problem without buying new hardware? Thanks a lot for help, I.
