Re: [slim] Windows 10: Master volume amplified
I changed the driver to the standard "High Definition Audio Device" and the misery stopped. Further investigation showed that some drivers come with Waves MaxxAudio. In my case, it was "just there", messing with the sound, with no indication that it was installed, as there was no UI. From what I learned, the UI is as crappy as the sound it produces. And no, it has no bypass button. You should know better, Waves. This doesn't help with the mystery sound coming from SLX. But at least it isn't amplified any longer. Thank you guys for your input here!

You're both right, of course. Right know I'm quite comfy with external keyboard, mouse, speakers and displays. But for travels, I only take the notebook. ;) And the volume is ridiculously high. I think I have to set the master to 2 (from 100), otherwise I'd be deaf by now. I just installed the original (Windows 8.1) driver provided by ASUS, and it made things worse: Now it seems that changing the volume in SLX not only changes the volume but also equalizes things. On low volumes there's barely any low frequencies, just high frequencies, on high volumes it's the other way round. This only affects this Conexant adapter. The Intel Audio driver (which is gone now, after I installed the Conexant drivers. WHY.) doesn't sport this behavior. Maybe it's just the driver that never got updated to work with recent systems. As for the noise: Maybe it really is the graphics adapter. But I disabled all recording devices. Where should Windows get information about the noise? And why only from squeezelite?

+1 on a USB DAC. That's the first basic upgrade to make. At the very least, you should borrow one as an experiment. On even my best most powerful i7 laptop, the design is arranged in a way that can induce high-pitched sounds from the graphics board into the sound board, so I don't use the internal sound card at all. What you've got there may be far better than the Realtek garbage in most PCs, but if you're on this forum it's quite likely you'll never be happy with the stock sound board in your computer anyway.

It's an 'ASUS UX32LN' (https://www.asus.com/Laptops/UX32LN/) with a "Conexant SmartAudio HD" sound adapter. Which seems to be not so great. There are not that many connections to change. There's a 3.5mm stereo jack connected to my Logitech 2.1 speakers. But even if I pull this only connection, the same happens with the inbuilt speakers.

Re: [slim] Windows 10: Master volume amplified
Try changing drivers in Squeezelite-X. With ASIO or DirectSound, squeezelite-win should disappear from the Volume Mixer. After making that change, I wonder if you'll still be able to hear whatever that is. (ASIO sounds best to me. WASAPI may require some code customization.)

[slim] Windows 10: Master volume amplified
This isn't really a LMS matter, again. But I found it while investigating Squeezelite-X, so... I recently noticed that the master volume is amplified. I don't know why or how. The green bar on the left (Speakers) shows the same audio output as the tiny little one from squeezelite-win: 26944 If I switch to another audio adapter, both bars have the same height. I changed the drivers to a recent one (from Synaptics, who apparently bought Conexant), but it made no difference.
