שאלה בקשר לשליטה של VOLUME במארז של ANTEC FUSION

[shaike_adler]

שלום

אני מתעניין במארז FUSION של ANTEC עם תצוגה LCD או VFD - שתי שורות
קראתי ב REVIEW מ - 2006 שיכולה להיות בעיה בהעברת מידע דרך S/PDIF

להלן הציתות מהמאמר וכן קישור למאמר (עמ' 9 )

[left]The volume knob always controls the Main Output in the System mixer. It is designed to work with any WDM audio driver
. However, the volume knob did not work with the ASIO driver that we tested — for the simple reason that ASIO output bypasses Windows' system mixer. That in itself would not be noteworthy if it were not for the fact that ASIO output was impossible while the VFD software was running. That is a problem, since ASIO (or Kernal Streaming) is necessary to pass Dolby Digital or DTS signals out to an external receiver via S/PDIF.

There were other oddities as well. Even when the WDM driver was used, the S/PDIF output did not work as expected. Our testing revealed that the VFD software added a duplicate signal into the S/PDIF output that was controlled by the Fusion's volume knob and could be heard even when the external receiver was muted (how?!??). Conversely, when the Fusion knob was cranked to zero, the original signal could still be controlled externally. When both signals were active, the resulting output was very VERY LOUD.

The obvious solution to these problems is simply to disable the volume knob, but — as noted — the software does not provide a way to do this. As a result, the only way were were able to restore functionality was to disable the VFD software altogether — and lose the ability to use the VFD.

So, we turned to alternate solutions... We were frustrated to discover that Soundgraph's stand-alone iMon software (from which the Antec driver is derived) did not work with the Fusion VFD. This is a pity, as the stand-alone version allows greater control over the display, including the use of plug-ins for additional programs (mostly other media players). As a last resort, those with programming experience may be interested in downloading the iMon VFD API and writing their own driver.[/left]

האם מישהו משתמש במארז הנ"ל עם חיבור הנ"ל ויכול לדווח שהכול בסדר?

תודה מראש

זה לא קשור למארז. ככה זה בחיבור SPDIF עם הגדרה כ-passthrough. בהגדרה כזו, הווליום של המחשב (גם דרך העכבר במערכת ההפעלה) לא שולט על כלום, אלא רק הווליום של הרסיבר. וזה בגלל שהמידע המגיע מהסרטים אותם אתה מנגן מועבר כ-passthrough אל הרסיבר ללא שום עיבוד.
מדובר בפעולה נורמלית ותקינה.
