That is why we added a checkbox in the SETTINGS tab for disabling automatic volume adjustment. Also, we have to contend with several different audio chip manufacturers that (unlike Apple) do not publish their system messages for when a device (like plugging in headphones) is connected or disconnected.
#BONGIOVI DPS 2.0 RELEASE DATE WINDOWS 10#
This works well enough for most folks but we are now seeing a trend of Windows 10 computer manufacturers making “smart” audio systems that try to manage the audio devices for you. To overcome this we set the output device to 75% and bring the previous volume level of that output over to the Digital Power Station driver. On a laptop that’s a big problem since they are already really quiet!
#BONGIOVI DPS 2.0 RELEASE DATE DRIVER#
No matter how much you turn up the volume (affecting the DPS driver only) the volume will be limited to that set previously for your laptop speakers. So what do we do when DPS is launched and the hardware driver is set to some low level? If we just leave that driver’s volume as-is, that driver (let’s say it’s your laptop speakers) will be “stuck” there without keyboard volume level control. As you can see in the diagram, the Digital Power Station driver must be the default device so we may process the audio and send it out to the hardware device (laptop speakers, USB headphones, HDMI etc).
On a Windows computer, the output driver that is set to Default Playback device receives the volume control messages from the keyboard. This is due to the consistent nature of all Mac computers and the sensible way their Core Audio engine works. On Mac computers, I think we achieved a nice level of “it just works”. I’m happy to discuss V3D, the new Virtual Subwoofer algorithm, and the myriad of gaming-centric profiles.īack to Windows volume control. You may not see it on the surface, but the audio processing changes under the hood between 2.1 and 2.2 are significant. Regarding the subscription and price and such, this was a necessary step for us to move the Bongiovi DPS app forward. UPDATE: To address your issue at the top of this very long post, please try this: You have hit upon an issue that had dogged us for almost a decade now Windows audio driver volume handling. Thanks for taking the time to share, rejor.
