In my first post (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=604480) commenting your ttvol100 mod I suggested that you just turn on logging in the Touch. Then you'd know if (for whatever reason) on your Touch anything else than the magic 65536 gets passed to the inner circuits of the decoder code. In my test when setting volume to 100% the same value 65536 got passed as was hardcoded in your mod, so it wouldn't make any difference for me. Any value below 65536 will manipulate the samples from the stream (i.e. the volume value gets multiplied with each sample) before the data is passed on to the DAC or digital outs. 65536 leaves the samples untouched. So try out the logs first - then you better know on what end (server volume values vs. Touch) one has to search. > > There are probably many processes syncing volume control in the network > and on all clients or similar. > All those associated processes might be sitting idle or might even die. > Could something in that area have any impact?

This one is sent to the Touch - the Touch doesn't manipulates or processes this value (at least not up to the point where your mod works). Later on, when it processes the stream it just applies the volume value and replay gain value to the samples. So if you are still convinced that you can hear a difference, just turn on the logs on your Touch (even if that might influence sound) and play around with Touch Volume Control, Web Volume Control, whatever Volume Control and check if the Touch receives the maximum possible volume value of 65536 or what you need to do to get this value. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.x) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
