</div></div>I was able to adjust the first ten and last two bar graphs.<br>
<br>
Of the first ten, I set them all to 100%<br>
All four of those that I could not adjust started with "S/PD...".<br>
(I've NOT changed their mode from "OO" to "MM" as of yet.)<br>
The last two (Rear Mic's) could be adjusted, but I left them at 0%.<br>
<br>
<br>
Still no change regarding the Audio output.<br>
<br>
<br>
What does the "S/PD..." and so forth stand for?<br>
Should I change their modes from "OO" to "MM", or leave them alone?<br>
