The debug log shows that the plugin is correctly handling the volume requests that it is getting. However, those requests are all over the map, starting at 22, then 26, 54, 74, 53, 75, 96, 75, 92, and then a bunch of incremental changes taking it to 100, followed by 61, 78, 64, 82, 93, etc. etc. etc. Do you have a pet monkey that might have run off with the remote during your test? ;-) Seriously, I don't know what to make of it. I'm not familiar at all with the client software you are using. Do you observe the same behavior when using the LMS client? What is the Volume Control setting in the Audio section of the LMS Player menu set at? Is it fixed at 100% or variable? If it's variable, you might want to try changing it to fixed, which should prevent the outboard pre-amp you are using from getting involved with the volume changing. Right now you are running through two pre-amps, both of which may be trying to control the volume, if that makes sense. Let me know what you find.
