Disable passthrough.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.

Nope. Pass through is just that. It PASSES THROUGH the bits, directly. You can't alter them in anyway. Otherwise, it wouldn't be pass through.

Or the remote/panel for whatever device you've connected your SPDIF/Optical cable to.

You can't set the volume for passthrough audio in XBMC or via any xbmc remote, because by then it wouldn't be passthrough.

Passthrough means it sends the audio bits digitally across an SPDIF or Optical cable to your receiver un altered (ie no volume adjustments).

You have to change the volume using your receiver (the device you plug your speakers and the coaxial or optical SPDIF cable into) or it's remote.
