Hi guys. I have a question regarding volume control. I use the Swans speaker system along with foobar. Since the volume dial on the Swans are out of reach, I've always been using the hotkeys on my keyboard to change the volume of the M-Audio card. The problem is, it isn't very fine tuning, so it was hard to get the sound just right. I also didn't like it because the master volume of the card changed constantly. Anyways, I just tried a different approach. My already-enabled Volume Control DSP was already enabled in foobar (to prevent clipping), so I decided to see if I can assign my hotkeys to just work with foobar's volume control, and just leave the M-Audio card's volume at a constant 75%. It worked great! The volume control is much much finer, and I can find the perfect volume. Does anyone see anything bad in doing this? Is the volume control on the M-Audio card worse/better than foobar's? Thanks!
