I thought I mentioned this before (maybe I forgot or with this long thread you may have missed it)... but it sounds like this is more of an issue with XBMC's external sound settings since you're using passthrough. I attempted to hook up externals on my system to see if I could set it up in a similar way (using wasapi) and I was having a few issues controlling the volume as well, but I can't begin to guess if it's XBMC or Constellation since the system I hooked up was 'kind of' broken anyway (no audio output even when manually adjusting the speakers themselves) so I have no idea if they even worked. I know it's not really ideal, but can you try to switch your system to use direct output and see if it fixes the audio controls? (Obviously switch back when you're done if you need to) Let me know if it handles differently that way.
Unfortunately no direct sound made no change, everything from my mce IR remote, xbmc official app, a simple keyboard seems to offer the volume feedback in the pictures I posted above, but I still dont get anything from constellation.
I also use roomie remote home automation remote for ipad and they just added support for frodo and i get volume feedback with that as well, and their not even done with xbmc setup. I have to think this is a constellation issue and how its sending volume commands or something.
Tonight I hit another stumbling block where this would have been helpful. I have something with a PCM track, which is internally decoded in xbmc, almost everything else i own has tracks that can be bitstreamed, i wondered why I was not getting sound during playback, and then i realized constellation volume was down to 4, and when its a pcm track bitstreaming is not activated so constellation and xbmc can control volume. But since i did not get any volume feedback again, i had no idea for pcm tracks constellation can control volume for those files.
