[QUOTE="hotponyshoes, post: 216232, member: 59166"] Sorry about the double post, I wrote one and my pc locked up (I thought before I posted) and must have stuck the first one in the wrong place as I didn't see it when I looked so I posted again. I read through all the posts I could find and it looks like some people have said that they have had problems where they CAN change the volume for music (mp3's etc) but not for movies. Most answers tell them that this is because the music is decoded / processed inside the pc and the dvd/movies (in AC3/DTS) are passthrough, so sent stright to the decoder so you can't change the volume. What I would like to do is have my pc convert all media (including dvd's/movies) to simple, 2 channel stereo, let me adjust the volume and still send it out over toslink spdif. There is a volume slider (in sounds & audio devices) for spdif but it is greyed out and doesn't change. My motherboard is a Abit AN8-32X with the nForce 4 chipset / audio so it may just be that the mb is fixed. If I can't do it via spdif can anybody reccomend a good pci soundcard that has a pair of 'proper' phono sockets on it and can decode anything into normal stereo? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
