Hi there,
Currently have a surround sound system connected via TOSLINK optical cable to my HTPC. Works great, except changing volume gives me the reply: Passthrough in use.
By changing the output to Analog instead of Optical S/PDIF, it stops using the passthrough and is now able to control the volume, but all surround sound data is lost and directional audio such as voice disappears.
Is there any way to change volume neatly while using Optical S/PDIF?
