Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

The SPDIF outputs are quiet by design.  The idea is that if you 
have some really wacked-out filtering going on, your resonance 
could get so loud that it would clip, so EMU dampened the 
SPDIF output.
As for having the same problem when using the 1/4" jacks, I 
don't know what to tell you.  I use 1/4", and I actually have to turn 
my XL7 down in order to hear the other gear in my setup.
