rockbox equalizer affects usb sound output for ipod?

(1/2) > >>

yegods:
forgive me if this is a dumb question... but i'm wondering if the EQ settings affect the sound output when "plugged" into a car adapter.  i do know that changing the volume doesn't appear to affect the overall volume.

what i'm wanting is a way to boost the volume output of the ipod when plugged into the car adapter audio system... is there a good way to do this?

Yes it does, but its not USB sound, just line out.

No its not.  Line out is already the maximum volume possible without any chance of clipping.  Going higher will likely distort.  You need to raise the gain on whatever amp your ipod is hooked into.

i'm no audio expert.  do you mean, raise the volume?  the problem is that to get the ipod output sufficiently loud, i need to set the amp volume very high -- so high that when listening to non-ipod (radio or cd player), it's deafening.  thought maybe there was a good solution to this.

And you have your iPod plugged in via the dock connector, not the headphone jack?
Do you have the EQ preamp set to a highly negative gain?

yes, and no.

and i am confused about the line out properties.  whenever i've had a device that has line out and headphone jacks, the volume is always louder out of the headphone jacks... so why is it that supposedly the volume is the highest it can be out of the line out?  what does "any possible chance of clipping" mean?  i never hear clipping out of headphones (that i'm aware of at least).
