Adjust 'locked' volume levels when using optical audo
Authored by: lowbatteries on Jan 13, '09 08:05:50AM

This "feature" isn't a feature, or a bug - its how optical out works. With any device. When I have my DVD player or my XBOX plugged into optical out, the volume control is done on the receiver. This is because the output device is sending the raw digital data.

still a good hint though

I didn't mean to imply that the hint was bad though - being able to adjust the volume level of digital out from the computer is pretty useful, though you may lose some audio quality this way, so audiophiles beware.
