No volume control #20

I'm using a TOSLINK to my v-dac.  There us no volume control.  The program in 
os x handles volume control otherwise audirvana or whatever program will play 
at full volume.  Thus I cannot use your program.  I wonder if other usb DAC 
users have this issue?

This is normal behavior. You're sending digital signals to your DAC, so any 
volume control by the OS would only decrease the quality of the signal, since 
it has to be reprocessed.

It is dependent on the DAC features, some implement volume control, and thus 
propose this feature to CoreAudio HAL. And Audirvana makes use of it.
Some don't, and the only possible volume control is in software with the 
associated loss of sound quality.
Cog uses high level CoreAudio API, and thus has access to this software volume 
control (like iTunes).

You are using your mac toslink output. And thus only this toslink bridge is 
controlled by the MAC, and it has no volume control. (the spdif/toslink 
interface does not carry such volume control commands).

Hello Damien

[I have abandoned other players... Concentrating on Audirvana - thank you] 

I am using Version 0.9a (0.9.0) and I notice on your website 
(http://www.audirvana.com/Site_2/Audirvana.html) the player has a Digital 
Volume Control on the far Right... slider... is there some reason that is not 
showing on my "model"?

Phil

I have the same issue as Phil. There is no volume control provided, yet your 
website shows one.
