Fixed line out

(1/2) > >>

Mr Whippy:
Is it possible for Rockbox to have line level out fixed to the industry standard, with headphone out acting normally? I don't want to be able to adjust volume from the iriver when using line out.

safetydan:
If you're talking about the iRiver H1xx or H3xx then I believe this is actually a limitation of the hardware. There's nothing RockBox can do about it. Not sure if there's any hardware modifications documented out there that might fix this.

Mr Whippy:
oh ok. How about fixed output then- set in config, when playing as normal vol up/down does nothing, for example when using portable headphone amp + remote control, no change of blowing up your phones. I can't use inline remote anyway due to entry on the remote plus ticking sound- will be using line out or optical out to portable dac/headphone amp.

In this case, wouldn't you just want to set the volume to 0dB (line out level) and then leave it there?  How would you risk blowing out your headphones in this case?  You'd already have the volume very nearly maxed out.  The worst you could do would be to lower the volume.

Mr Whippy:
No I would not blow headphones, because they are plugged into the external headphone amp ie cmoy. The remote/headphone will just be used for remote, no volume adjustment or the headphone out. Just a bit annoying if I accidentally up/down which changes volume, when I would use the knob on the headphone amp.

Perhaps in the 100% volume option "Warning! This sets headphone out & line out to 100%"
