Thank you for elaborating.I have fought an uphill battle since day 1 to keep the line out variable,
1. because it is a feature of the DAC (to directly change volume without re-digitization)
2. because plenty of people in China (for whatever reason) unintentionally or intentionally plug their earphones straight into the line out, with usually predictable results (temporary deafness)
3. because plenty of headphone amps otherwise have way too much gain for their poor little volume pots to control, meaning the user never goes past 8:30 or so on the pot and listens with volume skewed to one side half the time. It would be a service to them to have the line out be variable to act as a second, better volume control.
Having this volume control be separate from the usual headphone out volume, however, appears to be an Android programming challenge that is beyond our means.
Well I do like the variable lineout too.
But I think that it's posible to seperate the lineout and headphone out volume control. I think it is similar to the way the fixed lineout in other daps work.
Detect the lineout is used - change to other volume mode.
I don't know if Hiby will investigate in this or not, but if they do it will be an amazing feature.
