PC Audio Volume Control

CoolROD · 08-12-2005, 10:26 PM

Know of anything for my PC to moderate audio dynamics -my nVidia or Creative drivers don't appear to have the desired feature.

There is a night mode that limits dynamics but does not boost soft signals to my desired preset -I am constantly reaching for the volume knob (also a little hard-of-hearing).

I have a lot of audio power available...it can get out of hand -even startling and damaging to equipment.

A PC will soon be in my home theater where this feature will be more desirible -loud commercials, etc.

Remember Magnavox's "smart" sound control?

Dunno, but many media players and stuff now have auto volume leveling that keeps all the output below a certain level. I know itunes has it, and I'm pretty sure windows media has it.

Thanks for the response.

Looking through WMP10 now...
