sound issue

[nfrsbmschmck]

I just got a new motherboard (asus P5Q-Pro) and it came with the Realtek ALC1200 onboard sound. I like it but have one problem with it. It seems that when I adjust the master volume on the computer nothing happens. It is only affected by the Wave volume (I am not even really sure what that is). This is a problem because I have my volume knob far away due to wire length and outlet location. I used to adjust my volume with a knob on my keyboard that adjusts the Master sound. Now I can't. Any suggestions on how to either make my keyboard set the Wave volume or have the ALC1200 be affected by the Master volume? Thanks!

I expect it is a maybe a Realtek driver issue so you should ask them about it. Or maybe you need to install a driver for your keyboard?

Are you using a digital audio output? I believe that's a known (well, "common" at least) issue with digital out and windows.

If you are using digital out with any sort of encoding (DDL or DTS) you will not be able to use the master volume control for controlling volume; only application-level volume controls or speaker/receiver volume controls will function.
