I don't know if Im having a problem or not with my unit.
seems like my Macbook Pro sound card might actually be bypassing the external DAC itself, as the keyboard volume controls still work, which is the exact opposite of my Audioengine D1 which locks out keyboard controls.
Is this just my paranoia going on or do I really have situation going on?
You have to be in exclusive mode like Wasapi or ASIO to fully bypass OS settings. You can get wasapi or asio plugins in foobar2k and it will bypass windows settings. Also make sure to check the allowance of giving full exclusive mode for SMSL M8 in sound settings.
