This could be fixed by making all three components - "Speakers", "SPDIF-Out" and "What U Hear" share the same volume value, then it would guarantee that volume is set correctly. When I mute "SPIDF-Out" the sound get muted, but when it's set to 1% or 100% there is no difference. I believe that this is a driver issue and it can be easily fixed. This wouldn't be a big issue if I could just make windows default volume control to change this volume, but I can't because it is an input device, not output device.Ĭreative drivers make "Speakers" available to system and it thinks that I have generic 5.1 with analog connection, but in reality it is virtual.Ĭreative driver listens to all what system outputs to that "virtual" output using "What U Hear", encodes it to dts and then sends it via optical cable to receiver.Īnd thus the problem occurs because driver does not respect the system set output volume to "SPIDF-Out". It works on Mac or PC so it offers an added audio solution for both OS. When I open my sound settings under "mixer" and change the volume of "Speakers" or "SPDIF-Out" nothing happens, changes only occur if I change the recorder "What U Hear" volume(works as changing output sound volume). Creative has announced a new high performance portable 5.1 sound card called the Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 which is an external USB audio solution and it sits on your desktop via a USB cable. Installed latest drivers from their web page, enabled encoding to dts and it works, my receiver shows up dts signal and it is all great, but the problem is, that volume control is not working.
So I just bought this sound card Creative Sound Blaster Z.Ĭonnected it via optical cable to Logitech Z906.
