Hi all. This is just a fishing exercise to see if anybody has experienced the same problem and if they found a solution. I have a custom built computer and I play my music on my external drives via the PCs line out and into the line in on my Arcam Solo Neo mini system. When I play a CD or use the DAB radio on this system the quality is good and I can play it at a high level. However when I switch the source to the input I use for my PC the volume level is much lower. If I boost the volume to the point I like it but for get to turn down the volume before I move to CD or DAB then I very near blow off my wig. I have all the volume sliders at max in the control panel but the volume is still too low.
The only way I have been able to remedy this problem is to use a headphone amplifier and this helps raise the volume but not equalling the CD or DAB volume and I guess since these are integral to the system they are not using a line in source. The piece of kit I'm using is the Arcam R-Pack DAC and headphone amplifier. I tried the line level connection with good quality inter connects but this didn't increase the volume of my PC. I then switched to the headphone output which has volume controls and this helped a lot. Has anyone encountered this problem and if so, did you resolve it and how did you do this? Walter.
