Simon,
What brought this question about is a test with a new soundcard, a SignaLink USB. It have noticed that it is somewhat less sensitive than some previous cards I have used, which readily saturated unless I reduced the signal input. The SignaLink USB does not saturate, even at full gain, in the same application, which raises the question of whether I have enough signal. There are some issues which can be in the programs and CODECS, which is why I was wondering about something which gives you the raw ADC data.
You actually got one? My two have been on order since April, and nothing but a postcard saying they were "having trouble getting their aluminum boxes" from their supplier.
I don't think that's the whole story -- hundreds of places will make custom aluminum.
If you just received that unit, perhaps you (and others) should compare the guts of an older one with a newer one. Especially if other reports of odd level issues start to show up.
If you have had it a while, disregard...
