A logarithm *is* a desirable trait (our hearing isn't >> linear), though some seem to have peculiar characteristics.

The 'Wave surround' or 'wave > center', for example, behave just as I expect, but PCM does not. I can't say that I've noticed differences between sources (other than some being just too damn quiet overall), though I do believe you. My sound card is rather simple, without a lot of options. I don't have many to compare against each other. I wonder whether you get different responses whether you're using software or hardware mixing? If you have a sound card that can do its own mixing, its response to controls might be different (automatically doing a log response to a linear control change, or expecting that controls give a log control signal). More so if some things the volume sliders control are done in hardware, the rest in software. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
