Well, I wasn't doing any important thing in particular. I was just trying to play some mp3s and having found that the volume is a bit soft, I just wanted to adjust it. > 2) -g is gain. Typically you don't touch this. If you play electric guitar > or do sound mixing of some sort, you'll know what this is. I do know what gain is. It is simply put: a ratio of output to input. This -g option I presume will adjust the output gain of my sound card. So it seems to be the right option for me. Unfortunately, it did not work. Maybe the driver does not support this option. > 3) -f is scale factor. Not sure of the logic behind this. The -f option is sort of like the software version of volume control as it controls the scaling of the wave data before it is passed to the sound card. But the default level (according to the man page) is 32768 which is the max (half of 2^16). If I adjust this, which is possible, I get a louder sound but the louder portions of the music becomes clipped.
