My old interface sucked, so I got into the habit of running everything through a preamp before it hit the interface and the results were much better.
I have a couple of external preamps, and yes, that would be a workaround, but the preamps in the Profire are actually quite good, just a pain to use with the current problem. And as you might imagine, it drives many users crazy because they think something must be wrong when they have to go past 3 o`clock to get any volume.
