Adjust 'locked' volume levels when using optical audo
Authored by: xcapepr on Feb 17, '09 05:06:16PM

And yet, even more interesting is the fact that the keyboard volume softkeys work under bootcamp when in optical out mode.

To me its an inconvenience, given that the control module for my Logitech Z-5500 is out of sight and I have to reach behind the iMac to adjust the volume. The reason I use the optical out is to bypass the NASTY headphone port noise!!! I use the headphone port on the Logitech's module instead.

I bet there is a defaults.write setting somewhere that can enable it via the terminal.

Alternatively, I plan of getting a Firewire or USB audio interface, the onboard audio SUCKS! I didn't expect this in a $1800 machine!!!!!
