According to the manual, that card can only output +14dBu. So there's 10dB
robbed by not having a proper +24dBu output.
So if you are 'peak' normalising your files to say -13dBFS, the peak output
of the card when set to +4dBu will still only be +14dBu - 13dB (if peak
normlised files to RD default) = +1dBu output. Depending on what your
transmitter is wanting you'll still be less than +4dBu out of the sound
card.
Even if you files were normalised to peak 0dBFS, the card would only output
+14dBu max, so if you're average level (if you're not peak normalising) was
to be +4dBu you've only got 10dB peak headroom for peaks to acheive a
norminal +4dBu out.
I am so over analogue studios for this reason alone, I like all digital to a
transmitter that has an AES/EBU D/A with easy to adjust peak reference on a
screen or app. No more all over the place output level's by prosumer cards.

This card is supposed to have a +4 out switchable with -10 default.
Envy 24 control panel does not seem to have this switch.
Has anyone managed to get around this ?
System is at a transmitter and the inputs need more level..
