Can anyone tell me how to turn down the volume on my M-audio card???

Until I buy/make a preamp for these active monitors, I'll have to adjust the volume through the hardware control panel.

I have a Delta DiO 2496 card and Yorkville YSM1p active monitors. In its control panel is a monitor mixer section. Changing the level setting here does nothing. Muting the "master volume" section does nothing.

Winamp has a volume control that works, but windows sounds and playback of tracks from n-Track or Cubase is full volume. I've tried combinations of settings in the patchbay and monitor mixer sections, and I just can't adjust volume.

Hopefully I'll have a preamp in here before long, but in the mean time if someone could tell me how to turn it down I'd be most grateful!

Ypu can always drop the volume on the final output but it drops everything with it.

Well, if I could figure out how to "drop the volume on the final output" that would hold me for a couple of weeks at least. That's the problem though. The only place I see to drop the volume is in the M-audio control panel; the master level control in the monitor mixel panel. It doesn't do anything.

Make sure that outputs 1&2 are routed through the monitor mixer.

Damn. So simple. I'm going to go have a beer now and cry.

Thanks.
