I just wanted to thank everybody for getting back to me with thoughts on
this. I was able to resolve the issue.

I found out our stream *decoder *was amplifying! That server isn't
maintained by me, so I didn't know. We removed that, and everything sounds
great.

It would be nice to have a USB audio device that I can have more control
with in ALSA, but my current setup is now working fine.

Thanks again,

-Terry
