c4ptn Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hello everybody, when i connect helix to the pc (win 10) the usb audio volume always is set to 100%. Is it possible to change this default setting? (I twice almost blew my ears after starting an mp3...) Thanks and regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I don't think you can change it on the Windows OS side, but you can in the Helix. Global Settings> Ins/Outs> USB In 1/2 trim. Default is 0dB I think. I set mine anywhere from -20 to -5dB depending on the original source through USB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The Windows alert sound etc always blow my head off​ before remember to chill them. I play guitar significantly louder then I run my computer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c4ptn Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks too for that workaround, @jbuhajla! Due to position on Knob 6 it's also possible to adjust the volume by foot... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yeah, I did the firmware upgrade and forgot to adjust it back to -12dB before playing a track through Helix listening on in ear monitors. SO LOUD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
