Setting volume levels

Output volume adjustments allow you to set an acceptable volume level for each output device. This allows you to adjust for the differences in the output device sensitivity and for variations in environment or location.

Adjusting the input volume allows you to equalize the audio levels of the various inputs so that the audio levels will not change dramatically when switching inputs.

3.To set the output volume to factory default levels, click the Reset button.

4.To mute the output volume for a specific output, click the Mute button at the bottom of the slider for that device.

5.To globally mute all output devices, click the Global Mute button at the bottom of the screen.
