Re: xplRioNet : trouble pre-setting volume

["Dan McGarry" <daniel.mcgarry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I hope you don't have any plans to change the way the lineout
option works, as I use both lineout and the built in amp on the rio
in my consirvatory.  The lineout goes to a 5.1 amp which splits off
the bass, and the rio amp goes to speakers in the garden.  I can't
really use the amp for the speakers in the garden, as It takes out
all the bass, but with the setup above I can get a good level on both
sets and control them from front dial.

Oh yeah.  Thanks for all your work on the software Its the only real
windows solution for the Rio.  Now I just need a better interface for
my kiss DP1500
