Volume Control for Mame \ Jukebox Build?
« on: May 29, 2013, 11:22:06 pm »
Hi,

I'm currently designing my arcade \ jukebox and am stumped on how to be able to control the volume.

This will mainly be used for Arcade but a simple way to control the volume without ripping out a keyboard or mouse is ideal.

I am most likely to be running PC ---> AMP ---> Speakers.

What I would like is to have a volume knob that is easy to control the volume on the control panel. I do not want to have to control the volume by pushing buttons.

Are there any suggestions on a way of doing this? It will be running on Win7 64.

I haven't 100% decided on how to do the sound yet so any ideas would be appreciated.

Ideas I've been throwing around are:

2.1 stereo amplifier
external sound card
5.1 amp

I have a Logitech 5.1 in mine, only using the front and the sub tho. In my other cab, it has some kind of 2 channel amp. I use this to control the volume.
