</div>Yes you can with some mods.<br>
<br>
My packages are built with this ticket: <a href="http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6279" target="_blank">http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6279</a><br>
<br>
It allows software volume control.<br>
To activate it you set the mixer to be "software"<br>
</blockquote></div><br><div>Nice patch. I assume you decide the spdif, then modify the volume, then encode it again. Then it goes to the TV where it is decoded again. This decode/ encode/ decode leads to a loss of quality but that may not be important if you are just listening over TV speakers. For purists, you would want to just pass the signal through. If it is more important to control the volume than to have the least possible distortion this looks like a nice way to go. </div>
