Sweet Room & dB_GAIN_L, dB_GAIN_R problem

[RayMo]

Hi,

I have 1000 Pro and doing some bass adjustments with the Sweet Room. (I use Roon but I do not use DSP there.)

My Sweet Room settings in the eq.txt file changes the sound in bass frequencies, but does not obey my general gain setting. I am trying to decrease it for both channels, but volume stays same in Main and Alternate - comparing by ear with higher than bass frequencies. And now I am getting distortion on bass frequencies. -12db or -26db, no effect, SAM on or off.

Can you help me on this, is there something wrong with settings?

Kind Regards, RayMo
