When someone says "always", they are usually wrong. Software volume control "loses bits" only when you get down below the dynamic range of your source material. Many software volume controls use 32 bits, so you start to "lose" bits only when attenuating below -96 dB. Even if you only use 24 bits, you have 48 dB of attenuation before you "lose" bits. Do you think you can hear that last bit down at -144 dB (16 bits + 48 dB)? Anyway, this discussion probably belongs in the "audiophile" section.
