Q: Does this Sound Card have an automatic volume control?
If so, how can I disable it?
A: Turtle Beach Sound Cards do not have an automatic Volume Control. That is
controlled in the Sound Card's Control Panel > Mixer, under the
appropriate Section: CD volume etc.
1. Once you set the levels in the Mixer, it will remember them, (even
after REBOOT) unless issue 3 below comes at play.
2. The card will reproduce the volume levels and nuisances available
on a CD (soft & loud passages). If it is a compressed file (as opposed
to CD format) it will reproduce the level schemes implemented by the
compression program. MP3 etc.
3. Any Sound Card is also "at the mercy" of the setup used by various
Music Players such as: Media Player, Winamp, Real Player, Musicmatch,
iTunes etc. When a system reboots, depending on these players'
Settings your sound card's level may be affected. The more such
players we use in one system, the more complicated things get.
