This is not a bug... This is the correct way of handling digital audio output.
Digitally altering the volume affects does affect sound quality, so when you use a digital output, you want to output the volume at fullscale, unmodified. Altering the volume is then left to your external equipment. It works the same on OSX when using the optical output of a mac mini. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/737617 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Audio DAC] FiiO E7/TI Burr-Brown: Volume control does not work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
