Something conflicted in my audio equipment, DAC changing the windows system volume slider, help !!

Is it posible to deny any command to change volume from usb dac ? idk why but my dac suddenly changing my system volume like a keyboard fn command, some suggest it is my cable, because it had mic in it ?

Already test on 2 device , and 2 same model dac, but same iem and cable

Which DAC, and is this new behavior?

 

The reason I ask is I don't know many dedicated DACs that actually have the ability to independently change their output volume, most just rely on getting a lower volume from the source, which is what lowering the Windows volume does.

DAC just cheapo 7 Buck Jcally JA06 to replace my kinda broken inbuild motherboard audio chip

behavior kinda new after using the 1st dac for 2 week and it is an instant on the 2nd unit

Okay, so this is a DAC with no volume controls that is changing the volume on its own. It makes much more sense why you have a problem now.

 

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to ignore volume changes while still using the DAC. There's a chance it registers as multiple devices in Device Manager, in which case you could try disabling individual portions of it and hope that one of those will stop it from trying to change your volume, but still allow it to act as a DAC.

Fixed by swapping the cable, i think something is problematic with the action button on the stock cable
