For years, Squeezebox Classic allowed users to lock the volume at 100%. It used to be that locking the volume 'only affected the digital output' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9053) -- analog output remained variable. A while back a firmware update to SB Classic changed that behavior -- now locking the volume at 100% affects analog and digital.
Fast forward to Squeezebox Touch. There is no fixed volume setting; the volume control always affects both analog and digital. This causes problems for some users, especially those who use digital output and play music through processors like DTS decoders that need bit-perfect output. It has been suggested that perhaps 'the digital output should always be fixed at 100%' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14807#c10) (I assume *with* the option to use ReplayGain). That raises the question -- would it be OK if the *digital* outputs were always fixed at 100%, if the volume control only affected the analog outputs? -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77824 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
