I'm not sure exactly what you mean by alsa-mixer, as I do not have a 
program by that name.

$ cat /proc/asound/card1/id
Babyface2312334

$ amixer --card 1
Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0
   Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined
   Playback channels: Mono
   Limits: Playback 0 - 130
   Mono: Playback 130 [100%] [0.00dB]


So, we see that exactly one control is provided. At first, I thought 
this control had no effect at all, as the audio output only becomes 
audibly quieter when this control is well below 10%/-60dB. The rest of 
the range sounds like full volume, which is definitely not correct.

So, perhaps there is a bug either in the usb audio driver or in the 
class-compliance of the RME interfaces. Is there a double dB-mapping or 
something?

Also:

This doesn't look like things are going totally smoothly. But audio 
output DOES work, and the one volume control that is visible does have 
some effect.


Is this different to your findings with the Fireface UCX?


Thanks,
Matt
