Dragonfly Volume Control Issue [Solved]

(1/2) > >>

sjeb:
I just got a new Macbook Air and AQ Dragonfly and installed J River.  While the J River volume slider will control my MAC system volume when Dragonfly is not plugged in, once I plug Dragonfly in, the circle on the J River volume control disappears and even changing Mac system volume directly does not do anything.  I.e. volume is fixed as long as I have J River set to "System Volume", which I understand is the correct setting.

What am I doing wrong?  J River is supposed to let me control Mac volume, thus Dragonfly analog control, right?

Thanks in advance.

Matt:
Welcome.

You could use 'Internal volume' mode (JRiver's 64-bit volume).  It should always work.

sjeb:
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that and it worked, but I had understood it works the other way as well.   I prefer to use the analog control plus not being able to change volume with keyboard buttons is somewhat inconvenient.  Is this a Mac specific issue?

sjeb:
Sorry for the bump, but just wanted to make sure nothing further on this, as the computer audiophile review of dragonfly indicated J River for Windows worked the way I expected, but maybe not for Mac.  I'm just trying to decide which software direction to go in (though I already bought license to Mac version and will continue to use it in a different setup).

Thanks again!

We're working on this issue right now.  It should be in an upcoming build.  Thanks for the report.

EDIT:  This has been fixed and will definitely be in the next build.
