And under windows you got from this plug -lot- more volume
than running under linux VDR???

Please describe exactly what you do. Step by step.
I think we are talking about two different things.

edit /video*/setup.conf setting it to  215, for example.

That's a good value for me...(and my neighbours ;-))

Did you tell the driver to use the right DAC?
