control volume

**turbochris** · 05-28-2004, 03:38 PM

I'm going right from the PC to an amp. What can i use for a volume control? Ghetto style is preffered, I can fab and solder. I know I can control the volume in Windows, but a knob or slider would be much easier.

You can use SB's External USB sound card... That has a volume control on it.

The soundblaster is nice but I'm on a budget, the radioshack control looks good, thanks!

yup, i want one. Im in australia, so i wonder how much it will cost me *sigh*

that's too expensive and too big and ugly for me. I'm thinking more along the lines of ripping a potentiometer out of an old radio and making something myself.

It is a little big but it has a lot of features you wont get with a plain Pot.
