Volume limiter?!

[thegen]

Is there a good volume limiter for Windows 10 that you can count on? My headphone amplifier has no physical volume knob so I have to adjust it in Windows or Tidal. It's not the first time I've accidentally put the volume at maximum, which got my ears to bleed.

Add a passive preamp between your source and amplifier. Schiit Sys will do just fine

Can't see how thats working with my Meridian Explorer 2. I forgot to mention my dac/amp

Doesn’t Meridian have their own software where you can control the volume?

They do. But I dont think there is a volume limiter, it's more of the volume adjuster as in the windows tray.

This is one reason why I still have a Sound Card - the DSP options. The Sound Blaster Z has an adjustable "smart volume" option.

Super handy when watching (YouTube videos with poor mixing for example) stuff where the volume is all over the place (or just ridiculously low).
