here we see that you only have a limited set of sampling frequencies: > formats=e07e0<24bit,20bit,16bit,192kHz,176.4kHz,96kHz,88.2kHz,48kHz,44.1kHz> probably not what those apps you are using use, at least by default. as for volume, use mixerctl(1). by default azalia volumes are 120 on a scale of 0 to 255. looks like you should have an outputs.master that controls the output volume. Thanks for responding Jacob, Gmfsk uses 44.1khz as default, so the chip should handle that as you show above. Using a mixer I can increase the master volume to 100% and the volume is sub-optimal. I also notice that volume is on a linear scale, but that may be the mixers (all of them do this though) Most audio devices use a log scale as thats how the ear responds to volume. So the bulk of the volume control is squeezed into the top 10% of the mixer scale. Rob.
