Hi guys, I have a Burson HA-160. It's got some years behind it and has developed the issue where changing the volume mechanically on the wheel creates loud static.
 
I want to be able to adjust volume without having to touch it. I know it's possible as foobar2000 can do it. However I need it to work at an all application Windows 8 level.
 
Has anyone done it or knows how to?
 
Cheers.

Why not just find a tech who can take it apart and clean the pot?

The volume mechanical steps contacts are corroded, so turn/twist the volume knob few dozen (100) times fast to left and to right to clean it.
If that doesn't help then do this:

Set the burton volumeknob to the max. fixed volumelevel you want and then Use the Windows Mixer Volume Levels.

If you talked about overall windows volume normalizer then use this:

Probably the knob needs cleaning or replacement,
An audio equip service can fix this for you!

As suggested already, try fix the volume pot but if you like to go with software gain stage then, if you prefer having ASIO/KS output option then maybe you would like to check VB-Audios Voicemeteer http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Voicemeeter/index.htm
