Hello, I am using a Win 10 PC connected to Vanatoo Transparent One powered speakers via optical. What I think I’ve discovered is that I have to choose between convenient and accurate volume control or bit-perfect output. Is this really correct or am I missing something or is there a 3rd party program that anyone knows about to fix this? I’m in an office environment and need to alter the speaker volume frequently and quickly. My keyboard has a volume thumbwheel which makes this very easy and quick to do. If I’m not using exclusive mode on the output, I can nicely control volume from Roon. However, when I do, I lose all ability to control volume. I know that there is a keyboard shortcut for volume but it only goes in 5dB increments which is too coarse. I think I could map the wheel to keystrokes but I’d really need the 1dB increment for this to be useful. It would also wreck my other programs. Any advice or comments?
Would I be giving up a lot in terms of performance if I only used exclusive mode for 24-bit content and switched to non-exclusive for everything else? I like the program a lot and I’m trying to decide whether to pay but this is really a big issue for me. Thanks.
