Digital Recording Volume

[AVITWeb]

I have spent all morning searching the forums and can't find an answer to my specific situation.

Recording from computer to MD through optical out. Sound is great, but volume is extremely low, even with recording volume all the way up. I know that I cannot adjust it through the computer.

I am sure others have tried this and was wondering if anyone has gotten to volume to increase in one way or the other??

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you can't adjust it through the computer? It will depend on your soundcard, but have you looked at the options under the Volume Control (little speaker icon in taskbar) to see if you can boost Wave Playback or overall volume?

If you're using an optical out from your computer, check to make sure:

* that the master volume and "Wave" controls [as tourist mentioned] are up all the way

* that your player [the software you're using] has its volume turned all the way up

* that your player isn't using any form of compression or volume-levelling that might cause an overall drop in levels

Also, in the system volume control, go to the menu: Options -> Properties, and check to see if there's a separate control for the optical out listed under "Show the following volume controls". If there is, make sure it's enabled, then hit OK and make sure its level is turned up as well.

Aside from this, not all MD recorders actually have recording level control when using the optical input. It would be in the 610's manual whether it does or not.

The player has the capability...and I will check to make sure WAV is all the way up, but I was under the impression that the optical's output volume could not be controlled that way....I will check!

Thanks for the quick responses.
