Hi All,

I recently picked up a HippoHifi Bloat USB DAC from the group buy they had going over at MP3car. This is a fantastic little DAC, however i'm having trouble getting volume control to work in Centrafuse (2.0 Final) on Vista.

Currently if I try to play music with Centrafuse, it comes out at max. volume and the volume control within Centrafuse has no effect. What I did find however, is I can adjust the volume by using the Centrafuse slider that appears on the Vista mixer (see attached screenshot).

When playing music in say Windows Media Player or Foobar2000, their volume controls work fine.

I have noticed that the "Speakers" volume control on the Vista mixer has no effect on the Bloats output volume (which is what Centrafuse is adjusting). I have played with the "Use PRE as Master" setting within Centrafuse, but it has no effect. Vista doesn't appear to have a "Wave" channel like XP. How is the "Use PRE as Master" setting meant to behave under Vista?

Is there anyway to make Centrafuse adjust it's corresponding slider that appears on the Vista mixer rather than the "Speakers" slider?

Cheers,
Steve
