Hi ballyhoo. You dont need a laptop to check audio, just replay it from the camera in a quiet room, and listen closely. I meant the "input gain level", the small circular dial on the left side under the LCD, but not the "volume" at the top of the DVX. That just amplifies the audio going to your ears.
PS, don't forget the DVX100A headphone circuit adds noise in the headphones that is not actually recorded to tape. You learn to isolate that after a while. When you listen through the RCA outputs of the camera, that hiss disappears. It is only present in the headphone crossover circuit. A simple Y-cable that converts RCA male Rt/Lt. to 1/8" Stereo female will do the trick if you want to really get the purest sound through the headphones. But like I said, you get used to it anyhow.
