bluc Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Is there such a thing as a usb potentiometer? I have a usb amp(audio carried over usb cable) Is there anyway to hook a potentiometer to it to control audio volume?
mjrhp Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I haven't seen anything like that. You could probably rig something with an Arduino if you really had to, but couldn't you just control the volume on the PC side with the PC master volume?

Example, I hold the left flipper button down and turn the spinner like a volume knob and it adjusts my cab volume.

bluc Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 Both those solutions are worthwhile looking into, in the mean Time I though I would try just mapping a couple of buttons macro style to control volume, When I open the windows volume mixer the master control does nothing but the inviduale program volume mixer works, (I know my button mapping is working as it brings up a windows were I can see volume increase and decrease) Only problem the keyboard is mapped to master volume not program volume so I cant map keyboard shortcut to volume anyone know a workaround? My motherboard is from a nuc apparently they don't have a built in sound card and just pass a digital signal over hdmi which is deciphered by an amp or similar. In my case my amp input is via usb if that matters, is there a way I can map hyperspins volume control via xpadder ? help appreciated cheers

scottpe Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 This has been a popular choice for a long time too: http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-NA16029-Multimedia-Controller/dp/B003VWU2WA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398196264&sr=8-1&keywords=griffin+powermate I picked one up on ebay for $20 not too long ago.
Luckydogg420 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 My volume knob arrived yesterday. Just have to say it works great. Does what it's designed to to. Turns volume up, turns volume down, no set up required. Looks great too. Highly recomended.
