Fixed line out

<< < (2/2)

soap:
"Warning" implies risk of harm.  What harm are you worried about?  It is an annoyance, I'll grant you that - but as saratoga mentioned max volume on the Hxxx series is not significantly different than line-out.  The worst I'd expect is some clipping if too high and increased noise floor if too low.

I don't recall the max volume on my H320 off hand, but my iPod Video goes to +6.  I simply set the EQ pre-gain to -6 so that the maximum volume delivered by my headphone jack (analogous to your headphone and line-out jack) is 0.

Mr Whippy:
I would like non adjustable volume though, just makes sense once you use headphone amp variable on the iriver will not be used. My Squeezebox has this, it sets digital out to 100% even if you then use the volume control from the remote.

soap:
My iPod has it (fixed line-out) as well.   
The fundamental issue is one of your iRiver hardware. 
What you're asking for is a software modification which locks the volume on both headphone and line-out on demand.  Not impossible, but not likely to garner much support, IMHO.  I'll move this thread to Feature Requests, as that is what it appears to be.

In the meantime, though, do the preamp trick.  It has the benefit of now there is only one volume button you can accidentally press and change your line-out level.

Llorean:
The digital out on the h100 is at line level. You should use it with an amp that accepts it. Much better sound quality too. 100 percent volume will be over line level on some players, by the way. If I recall though, on h100/300 it's 0db
