Voyager RME Volume Control

I have been using my new RME for two weeks and yesterday I saw that it sends sound signal even when the volume control is set to 0.

Is this something normal? It happens both in Headphones vol and master vol

Are you talking about the strange noises that occue when you turn the unit on and it is booting up? Ive notived that when it is cycling through the buttons Panel Master Edit...it will send all sorts of LOUD crazyness through the headphones and the Outputs regardless of headphone or master volume.

This I believe is just a normal occurance of analogue oscillators, as the theremin does the same thing. I think it has something to do with the power activating the oscillators and the VCA at the same time so some stuff is leaked out before the VCA gets to proper operating temperature and closes.

Does this answer your question?

no, it's true that it makes that noises.
I meant that even when the sound level of the headhone or master volume is set to "0" , the voyager is still sending sound to the amplifier.

I had not appreciate it when I use it connected to my computer, but yesterday I connected it to the amplifier, and I saw that even with 0 volume the amplifier received sound from the moog

Now it could be that you are using an amp that boosts the signal so much that you are hearing that....but in theory, the VCA is supposed to be closed.

You might want to email the tech support guys on that one....pm Amos on this forum or email them on their homepage.
