XXHE 2.10

If I'm running unattended and playing at 1x (44.1 source material @44.1), Alt-D on the keyboard does not affect the volume.

If I started that session at -15db prior to entering unattended mode, and enter unattended and experience the above, when I hit Alt-X to return to attended mode to use the slider to lower the volume, I see that the slider is set to -18db as I'd expect after hitting Alt-D twice.  However, the volume was never affected.

And by now I can tell this is going to happen in advance by noticing that the time display at the top of the screen in unattended mode stays red and never turns white.  It normally turns white between the time I hit Alt-D and when the volume is affected.

I've also noticed this happening at 2x (88.2), but not always. 
I've not noticed this at 4x or 8x, yet.

I believe that in general Alt-U tends to work, but not 100% at most at 1x.

Other factors:  I have custom filter selected for when I set the rates to higher than 1x, but I don't bother to uncheck it when I set the rate to 1x.

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi there Charlie.

Look in here for the solution (still valid for 2.10 and IIRC for the upcoming 2.11 this is solved) :

XXHighEnd Model 2.09 - Solves bugs in 2.08 & more MQA functionality.
In there, search for Volume. It is close to the beginning of the page.

Regards,
Peter

Thanks Peter.

I need the fast volume change now so maybe I'll stick to attended after I've run unattended once and control volume from attended mode.   That, at least for now until 2.11 comes out.

Off topic: I'm hoping that 2.11 will have a functioning Pause in unattended.  Thank you !

Thanks,
Charlie
