Win 11 - Audio Mutes below a setting of 12.

Hello.

I am having a problem with the audio from my PC where when the windows volume is reduced below 12 the audio output mutes completely.

I use a Digigram VX 222e sound card to provide balanced audio for my studio monitors. The issue also exists when I use the application provided with the card where at a certain point the audio mutes. Below is a list of information I can give but I am not sure if any of it will be helpful.

PC info

Win 11 Pro

Build 22621

Mother board ASROCK x570 Steel legend BIOS Version P3.90

Ryzen 9 5900X

16 GB ram.

Sound card info

Digigram VX 222-Mic (PCIE)

Driver (Digigram) 5.12.0.4301

Other info

Using Digigram App it mutes below output level of -42dB so I am assuming that -42dB = 12 in windows and -52dB = 10 in windows.

Attenuation jump is large from -42dB to -52dB (previous steps 2dB).

Input level to the card from applications has no impact on the level that the output mutes always mutes below -42dB. Range -6 dBfs to -108dBfs.

App that provides the audio source makes no difference.

Things I think might help me.

Can I change the size of the attenuation steps in windows? currently

.5 dB steps from 0 dB to -25dB

2 dB steps from -25 to -42

10 dB steps from -42 to -82

7dB steps from -82 to -96dB

Can I change the attenuation range in windows for example make -42 dB output level = 0 in windows.

If anyone know what I can try that would be appreciated
