Or can I? When I send sound from Media Jukebox via the Audigy Platinum EX' SP-DIF out to my Denon 3801, the volume changes in different parts of the music. Quiet passages are amplified after 2-3 seconds, and when a louder passage comes, it is actually distorted for a few seconds before the volume is decreased. I'm trying out this setup to see if I want to go with it, so it's not registered. I'm also using a tryout of the DFX plugin. Does anybody have an idea what this can be? I've turned the Intelli-Volume off (along with all other internal DSP functions) in Media Jukebox.
It makes no difference to use the analog output of the sound card (except for a very audible loss in sound quality - the cables are more than 30 meter long). Can this be in the Denon? I don't think an amp is able to vary it's input volume like that. At least I've never seen one that can.
Right now I'm using WinXP, but I had the same problem under WinME. I have tried with version 7.272 and the different betas of 8 that has come along. No difference.
