Re: Winamp Asio volume question

Hi Dawnrazor:

I have played with two different ASIO capable cards so far:

M-Audio Revolution 7.1
Creative X-fi X-treme music

Both have mixers that allow level control of individual channels as well as the entire mix *in ASIO mode*.

No level controls in the player or windows, but this is what you want. The fact that level controls are available in ASIO mode does NOT mean kmixer is in use. But it does mean you are using "bit attenuation" as Christine is pointing out.

If you are tri-amping and want to try something neat (but a bit blasphemous) use a *good quality* 6.1 channel receiver as a preamp. If you put most 6.1 channel receivers in "external multichannel input mode" you can get 6 channels in and 6 preamp channels OUT using a single level control. If you're talking a high-end Marantz, Dennon or Onkyo unit, the quality of the preamp section might surprise you.

If you can borrow an HT receiver from a friend, you can try this for free! :o)

Cheers,
Presto
