23:17 <lexvegas> fearnor: this is signal coming in from the radio to the PC as an audio input
23:18 <lexvegas> so if you have a strong signal coming in over the air, what your PC receives over the signalink is blown way out
23:18 <KM4IXK> 27 more to go, almost halfway there.
23:19 <fearnor> mmph
23:20 <KM4IXK> Don't you be mmmphing me boy.
23:20 <KM4IXK> i'll turn you into the grow house police! ;)
23:20 <snitch_> uh oh
23:20 <snitch_> task force comin
23:21 <fearnor> again, problem is that whatever software you use needs to tell the driver what sample rate/channels it wants
23:21 <snitch_> they shoot dogs on sight
23:21 <KM4IXK> I shoot most dogs on sight
23:21 <KM4IXK> if it's not an immediate neighbor. i add it to the pile.
23:21 <fearnor> digging further into it
23:21 <snitch_> i'd like to shoot one of my immediate neighbors

23:22 <KM4IXK> fearnor i would NOT advise digging into the dog pile.
23:22 <fearnor> here's one possible answer
23:22 <fearnor> the difference is the input levels: microphone vs line
23:23 <fearnor> It's a Windows 7 only issue. As  PCM290x has no input volume, windows 7 "provides" one. In digital form.
23:23 <fearnor> The samples are just overscaled to produce the gain. To get a satisfactory sound quality, you have to set the recording levet to about 3%.
23:23 <fearnor> if someone can post that, cuz fuck reddit
23:23 <fearnor> Any products identifying themselves as USB Microphone inputs without programmable gain controls get treated with additional digital gain, within Win7.
23:24 <fearnor> also, sounds like it only affects 2902, not 2904
23:25 <fearnor> http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=69453 similar
23:27 <fearnor> for the record: i was wrong. this IS a windows bug.
23:29 <fearnor> http://www.ti.com/lit/an/sbfa020/sbfa020.pdf
23:29 <fearnor> and that's TI's note that documents everything about this problem
23:32 <KM4IXK> kill it with fire
23:32 <fearnor> i posted on reddits :P
23:33 <KM4IXK> thats about the same thing i think
23:33 <KM4IXK> when you're done, kill all wspr weenies too.

23:45 <fearnor> ahahhaha
23:45 <fearnor> much love for redditors
23:45 <fearnor> pointing out its a known issue gets downvoted

23:47 <snitch_> who the hell wants to live in Cincinnati anyhow
23:48 <fearnor> Trinity93: video doesn't matter. BLM already is prepared for riots, so there'll be riots
23:48 <Trinity93> wkrp in Cincinnati.....
23:49 <snitch_> the federal agents that protect the Hoover Dam requested enough ammo to fight a battle
23:49 <fearnor> why shouldn't they have enough ammo for a battle
