I have AMB Gamma 2 F++. Since it uses PCM2707 chip, I cant control the PCM volume for it through linux or windows. The obvious solution is to use a preamp but that gets very expensive, 59 bucks per active device, which means about 120 bucks just for 2 volume knobs and 2 mute switches.
I'm wondering if you guys know of a software volume layer in linux or in windows that can provide me with software volume control before the data hits the USB port. I know linux has dmix but I cannot get that to work for the life of me. There is also pulseaudio but it seems that I would need to configure each of my apps individually for that.
If someone is using a sound card with PCM2707+alsa, can you post your .asoundrc? Also, if you know of a windows program that enables me to control volume a bit easier (ie leave all applications at 100% and use windows volume only, or keep applications at 50% and use windows' volume) I would be much obliged.
Also, I made a thread in DIY regarding passive preamps. I posted a picture of what I'm thinking of but I'm not entirely sure if that will work or not.
