    Hi,

    With 5.1 Setup loaded, if I preamp only Rear channels to 30db seems to silence Front and Subwoofer channels (almost no sound), just to know how it works, is this ok?
    Because if I want to amplify rear channels more than the rest because thos are far.

    Thanks

    Increasing the pre amp that high may cause the audio driver or Windows to intervene by cutting off the sound altogether. If Windows or the driver is measuring only the peak value on all channels together then it reduces the gain (volume) on some or all channels. In principle measuring the peak value can be done for each channel separately but probably that isn't done in this case.
