DVD player: optical audio signal direct to input on Denon AVR 2700.
HTPC: digital audio signal passed out of ATI Radeon 7500 into SBLive DD5.1 and directly out again via S/Pdif to Denon AVR 2700. Setting in SBlive to 'digital output only', all mute buttons 'off and volume sliders at max.
For HTPC I usually have to increase the volume by 30-50% above the setting for the DVD player to achieve about the same level of sound.
I am thinking there is a blockage somewhere - a volume control I haven't reset? Am I damaging my 2700?
Any ideas? Thanks for replies.
