No bits have been harmed in the making of this movie, er..ah, volume control. :)) No data is ever lost, still 16 bits sent to the DAC, just with the word's amplitude multiplied by the reduction factor contained in the extra 8 bits tacked on to the 16 bit word coming from file whenever volume control is engaged. The processing required to reduce volume by a large amount is the same as by a small amount, just a different factor. With larger volume reductions, the resulting product is more prone to inaccuracy, due to only 8 bits allowed for VC info. But the result is dithered so any slight errors are not audible anyway. Unlike SB, noise in transporter is very low, so using the software VC has no negative effect.
