Why not work on fixing the actual problem if it's not already been fixed? I'm not clear from your description what that actually is but it would seem much more generally useful to fix that. This is far from the only card with no hardware volume control and I'd imagine all will be affected. > Is this possible? No, and it would still be unhelpful since it would leave you with two soft volume controls in operation.
