Title: S/PDIF volume control with JRiver 28?
Post by: DMCxx1 on December 11, 2021, 08:33:11 pm
I bought a Fosi DA 2120c DAC / Amp.  Its only input from a PC is through a USB plug feeding into a S/PDif jack on the back of the amp. 

I'm getting sound but I can't control my volume within JRiver or Gizmo, only physically through the Fosi.

Do you lose volume control with a S/PDif connection?

How have you set up volume control in MC?

The slider doesn't change the volume.  Playing with the PC's audio output settings doesn't change the volume coming through that s/pdif output. 

I guess my question is, should it?   And to answer your question, what volume setting are you talking about?  I'm not using a dsp function. 

As it stands, I've selected the only Player settings that get me an output the Fosi can do anything with.   It's in either the S/dif  Direct Sound or Wasabi configuration.  I also downloaded and installed ASIO4All because I needed that before when I was connecting through a DLNA connection. 

With DLNA my Yamaha showed up in the player list.  With the Fosi Player is now the direct connection.

I'm curious what volume settings I should be playing with.  I've had JRiver since 22 so I'm moderately familiar poking around.  I did figure out a DLNA connection without a bit of help from Yamaha... ha

Thanks

It's DLNA, not DNLA.  I changed your post.

Not the PC settings.  MC volume settings.

Options >> Audio >> Volume >> Volume Settings.

That was the issue.  Thanks so much for your time.  It needed to be set to internal volume.
