In Reply to: What's the math behind a digital volume control? posted by JayM on February 8, 2007 at 17:46:32:
Digital attenuation done with PCM truncates data. It is roughly 1 bit loss of resolution per 6dB attenuation. Some clever designs use dithering and wordlength expansion to minimize this effect, but it's still there.Regards,
