I recently bought the A1000 version of the perfectsound audio digitizer.
There is a terrible problem with it. Even when I ground the inputs, if I
turn the gain all the way up I get noise. Also everything I sample sounds
muffled. And even with the gain turned down and the inputs are grounded,
the sample is going between 00,FF,and 01 I think. Has anyone else had problems
with their PerfectSound? Perhaps this is an inherent design flaw.

I could have built something myself to do A to D, but I decided it would be
faster and safer to buy one. I figured that anything I would make would have
noise, and a bought one wouldn't. I guess I was wrong.

Maybe putting bypass capacitors inside would help. Maybe I just have a bad one.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

I must also complain about the Psound software that goes with it. It is trash.
Audiomaster is much better. I have been playing with the demo version, so I
cannot save, but that doesn't matter as I don't have a use for it anyway.
