Audio Output Switch With Volume...?

[Scheer]

Anyone know of an output switch for two devices that will also have a volume control knob on it?

 

I'm really happy with my 10-keyless keyboard and like the space it saves, but I'd really like to have a physical volume control and sometimes miss my K95. I'd also like to have my headphones permanently plugged into the back of my computer, but I also have 2.1 speakers that I use so I need a way to plug them both in.

 

I bought a Xonar U7 and it does everything I need... except the onboard sound is much better, its really glitchy and freezes my computer for 5-10 seconds when I switch outputs, and sometimes makes me restart programs to output audio... all sorts of issues and I'm just done dealing with it.

 

 

I may just end up going with a 3 pole toggle switch and a Griffin wheel for volume, but wanted to check and see if there were any obscure products out there that would work for me as well.

Syba DAC isn't just a switch, but it's cheap and has the features you need.

Really glitchy?Have you tried upgrading drivers from Asus website?I have been using it for a long time without any issues.I think DAC are better option if you can afford it,try the Audinst HUD mini DAC if you are on a budget.

Had the latest drivers, and tried on a few computers with both Win 8.1 and Win 7, did it on each of them.

 

I bought the Syba DAC recommended above and its been great so far.

I just ordered Schiit combo,tired of drivers of asus U7.It's a great value for money soundcard but time for me to move on to audiophile territory.
