Hi

I play with Foobar and use Jplay as output.

Everything sounds great.

But, when I want to narrow down the volume via the Jplay "bit perfect volume' SETTINGS section, it doesn't do nothing.

Only the foobar volume works.

 

1. why does it happen

2. Is it still bit perfect even if I use the foobar volume and not the Jplay settings option of -6, -12 etc ...?

Are you sure you're using JPLAY Driver as output? To verfiy, please try opening JPLAY Settings panel during playback. If JPLAY is playing, you should see the message 'busy' and the JPLAY Settings panel will not show up. If the panel will open without any message during playback, it means you're not playing via JPLAY. 

 

Foobar volume is not  bit-perfect which means that resolution is lost.

I rechecked.  panel doesn't open and pop up mesage  'busy' dispalys when using via foobar.

when using foobar the bit perfect volume' SETTINGS section is not wokring and I can change the vol on foobar manuuly which as you advised, makes it not  bit-perfect.

 

A bug?

Which  DAC do you use? If must support BItStream 32 for 'BitPerfect Volume Control'.
