Hi all,

Got several RPi's with Justboom DAC's dotted around the house feeding
either the hifi or powered speakers. All working great - whole house
sound system :D

I'm in the process of replacing the RPi/DAC/2.1 powered speaker combo in
the bedroom with an RPi/IQaudio DigiAMP+/passive speaker combo. Very
impressed with the IQaudio DigiAMP+. Good sound and a surprising amount
of power.

However, the 2.1 speakers have a useful feature - a remote wired volume
control and on/off switch. I'm aware of the possibility of using a
suitable rotary encoder but while I was digging around on that topic I
came across USB volume controls. So I bought this:-

(Other models available.)

At the very least I can hack it to use the (smart looking) housing, knob
and cable to configure it as a basic rotary encoder. But before I go
that route I want to investigate the possibility of using it as-is. I've
had a good google around and there are tantalizing hints that it might
be possible.

Examples:-

While I'm not adverse to a bit of soldering and hackery this type of
device could be a useful solution for a lot of PiCorePlayer users.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Cheers,

P
