Strange soundlevel problem.

Posted by Ulflaursen on August 24, 2006 at 6:09 pm

Hi,

I have a strange soundlevelproblem, that someone maybe can help me out on.
I have a newly made PC with PPRO2 on. I have a Creative audigy 2 ZS in it. I also have firewire of course, where I have a Canopus ADVC 100 attached to.

I have a setup with an audio-switchbox. On this sw-box I have output from the soundcard, the two channels from the ADVC 100, a DVD player and a mini-disc player.

I have attached 2 ESI near06 speakers to the output of the sw-box:

The problem I have is the big difference in the level of the sound.
When the level from the ADVC 100 via firewire is ok, the soundcard level is VERY low, but the level from the DVD-player, and minidisk is ok too.

It gives me problems when I f.ex. want to edit soundtracks from within PPRO in Audition, where I use the soundcard output. I switch to the soundcard sound, but it is extremely low.

My question now is what to do?

I could get another soundcard like a freind of mine said:

(Not sure if it is compatible though)

I could set a set of ‘normal’ PC speakers to the soundcard output and sort of ‘calibrate’ the level of the two speaker-systems and use both sets.

PS. I tried with another one of my PC, with a different sound-card too, and it was the same level-issue.

Thanks for any input on this matter.

You can’t adjust it with the sound card mixer?

Thanks Blast1

Yes I can. Even if I turn up the software mixer output to 100% and the wave to 100% it is still very different.

Actually this works. The way I first tested it was with windows media pl. compared to timeline playback in PPRO, and there was difference. When I raised the output leveler inside WM pl. it worked 🙂 and audition too. But still strange that I have to put the levelers all to max. Maybe it is an impedance issue. Dunno, but it works now.

Thanks for leading my attention to windows mixer again, Blast1 🙂
