The onboard realtek audio for ALC883. Just unmuting the line-in2 with the (Visteon) head unit is too loud.

So what serial cable are these guys talking about using with XM? They say they got it from you.

By the way, really love the HD Radio with your cable. Could kick myself for not installing it a long time ago! I'm one of those that always laughed at the concept of "HD Radio". Not laughing (about that) now. Now I just laugh at how they made AM radio sound like FM.

what is a "(Visteon) head unit"

again what program are you using

Visteon HDZ1000? The head unit being the controller that comes with it (that your cable replaces)?

Meaning the only thing the computer is being used for is a "pass through" and the volume is too loud at it's lowest point. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a potentiometer or something inside the Visteon that will allow the user to turn down the gain. Because the signal is too strong to start with, software isn't going to do the trick.

That's the answer I was looking for. No sound card. Internal ALC883. Ports can be "told" what they are. Line in, mic in, headphones, speaker out. Checked all of them with boost turned off. Still loud. Not a really big issue. Just have to keep it turned down through the control panel.

I saw the XMD2, but they're talking about the XMD1000.

under software control, i can and do set the preamp level

BUT it works perfectly here, and i wont change it, till more info is reported

make sure you're using a REAL LINE IN, not a MIC in, if you out of LINE INS
soon that wont be a issue anymore
