I have a E-MU 0404 PCI sound card with Samsung HW-F450 sound bar.
When I use the 3.5mm cable, I can increase/decrease/mute sound using my keyboard (or simply the sound controller of Windows 8.1). Today, I have bought an optical cable and plugged it in. Now, the only way to control sound is the remote controller of the sound bar.
Is there a setting that lets me increase/decrease/mute audio when using optical cable? Because there is a lot of difference in sound and I don't want to lose it.
Right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices. See if there is a separate option for the optical fiber device. If so, make it the default. That's about the only thing I can think of. – BillDOe – 2015-05-02T22:49:20.813
