Hey, Matt. I was just writing a post in another forum but since the subject came up here, I'll take the opportunity.

I got the Griffin PowerMate USB volume controller you suggested and it is PERFECT! Nearly.

It works seamlessly with all applications other than BB. I wondered if you have a suggestion. For example, when I pull the DAW up or ITunes or Youtube, the unit automatically controls volume, overriding the typical volume slider (the speaker icon in the bottom right of my Windows 8). It's automatically the volume control for all of them; for the whole system, except BB.

Then, if I click on BB, to "notify" my system this is the software I'm working on now, the wheel will not control BB volume until I click on the speaker icon. Then any anytime I stop BB from playing, when I restart it (just clicking the spacebar to stop, then again to play), the wheel again will not control volume until I click on the speaker icon.

I contacted Griffin and they don't know, suggesting I contact PG, which I'll do if you don't have a suggestion that will solve it.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Matt
