Is there a master volume specifically for spdif?

First time ive used spdif with my kemper today and Im finding my spdif volume is very high (clipping) unless i keep the kemper volume on no 1. The master volume does nothing. i must be having a blonde moment. Where is the master spdiff level?

Already discussed before, Chris.

The way to control the s/pdif volume is either through your DAW's or your audio interface's volume controls.

The master volume dial did affect the SPDif output prior to FW 1.0.7.

Since FW 1.0.7. this has been disabled.

I wonder why they disabled it?

The analog outs deliver a much hotter signal than the digital out. You would have to max out the MV on the S/Pdif out and the signal was still not as loud as the analog outs with the MV on half. So basically, people were asking for an independent/separate volume control. Most of us were keeping the MV on max when using the S/PDif out anyway - that's why they disabled it.

But I'm with you on this, Chris. I'd prefer an independent volume control for the digital out rather than having it disabled.

How can the XLRs have more output than the SPDIF? I don't understand how this can technically be?

However I was getting clipping with 1.07 beta and using SPDIF with some profiles with hot levels. I could turn the amp volumes down but that is not really working for me since I am a flipper.

Glad 1.08 has master vol working.

[edit] I loaded 1.08 and master vol is NOT working actually..
