A long time friend of mine is finally going to be upgrading his audio experience a little. He currently uses a fairly old (hardware-wise) Pentium 4 Dell machine, and up until now has been listening from a pair of dinky little Dell speakers being fed by the onboard audio.
He managed to grab a used HT Omega Striker 7.1, and I'll be passing my JVC HA-RX900s over to him, which will be fed directly by the sound card. The only concern right now is volume control. His keyboard does not have a volume knob, and using the Windows volume control would be difficult while gaming. I digged around and found a USB volume control he could probably use:
Griffin Technology: PowerMate - USB Multimedia Controller
(I already know Amazon has it for cheaper)
I wanted to know if anyone else had used that, and if it was an effective solution for his needs.
