Do I have to control the speaker volume exclusively through the volume knob on the back, or can I use an external device, for example DAC, for that?

The volume knob on the back is so you can set a level that gets you to what ever level you want to be for external control (i.e. 0 dB). Once you plug your speakers to a device that is sending sound to the speakers, you'll want to control the volume from what ever source is sending the signal out.

You can control by any means you like...the speakers are not the source. If you have a volume control on your source, just use that. CD player, computer sound card, DAC...up to you. I use an external sound card with a volume knob, i leave the PC software volumes on 100% and how high you put the volume on the speakers is up to you, you just regulate it with whatever comes before the speakers.

The volume control on back you set it to your max and forget about it for the most part, and device you use as the source will control the volume.
2077161
Yes. Both. Be sure that the control speaker volume of the Monitor must be turn all to the right in order to control it from a DAC.

I use mine on a computer and I set the know on the back at a high level then used my computer to control the volume from there with my keyboard. Hope this helps

You can do either. It's definitely easiest to set the monitors at a reasonable level (50-75%) and then control the volume for the most part via your DAC, mixer, etc. I'd recommend you experiment, though, to find the volume combination that produces the least amount of noise.

I would think that you could just set the volume on the back of the unit to your desired preference and then leave it alone. Then you could use the DAC to control the monitor from there. I just leave the volume knob on the back set to about 12 o' clock and I use either the recording software or standard windows controls to adjust the volume.

Hi,There should be several options. 1) there is a volume control knob on the left speaker. 2) There should be speaker icon at the bottom right of your screen which you can click to open the small volume control pop-up. 3) Go to your control panel and find the "hardware and sound" category and in that section there should be "sound" or something similar with some sub-categories. Explore these and you should be able to find some means of controlling the volume on the speakers. Of course, make sure you have everything plugged in properly and the little green light on the left speaker is on. These are nice speakers-hope this helps so you can enjoy them.

Agree with the previous reviewer, you will need a separate amp to use external speakers with this TV. Some TVs will have external speaker jacks (usually just for left and right) and they take RCA plugs to connect...but all you are really doing is moving the sound from the TV to two remote locations (usually about six feet apart) and the volume control remains with the TV controller. The center speaker is useless since it can't be connected. However, if you purchase a separate AMP, you can then run the TV and the speakers through a control unit and it by-passed the TV speakers. Good luck.

No, you can't. The only thing you can do is to buy a separate audio splitter which are, by the way, inexpensive. The bad thing about it is you cannot have independent volume control.

Yea, the volume knob works for both. I have it hooked up to a tube amp. You can listen through both the amp and dac with head phones.

I don't think you understand how this works. You use the level control to get the output to match the level of your main speakers, not to set overall loudness. So where you set it has to do with the rest of your set up.

Control of the volume is through the device you link it with...i.e. iPad, etc. The speaker itself has no volume control.
1433002
Yes. There is an output at the back. It's called "Audio Out" and takes a regular earphone jack, 3.5mm I believe. You can disable the speaker volume in the Audio Settings menu but I think the Audio Out volume defaults to your latest level. I can see no way to control the volume other than on a suitably equipped pair of earphones/headphones. Just to clarify, this is the smaller sized jack typically seen on a phone or MP3 player, not the larger headphone jack.

There are no volume control on the speakers themselves. You will have to control the volume via whatever equipment the speakers are connected to. Ie. a stereo system or surround receiver.
884639
Yes. Most of the time I use headphones directly plugged into it...no additional stereo or amp needed. If you look at the pictures of the unit, you will see a volume knob next to the headphone jack. That knob controls the headphone volume.

The system does have volume control, but you can not control individual speakers. So yes, you can adjust the volume

No... if you look at the photo the little box infront of the woofer has a volume control/ headphone jack. You can only control the volume and power.
1538426
No. The volume cannot be controlled. It is weak and only fair quality. Volume would have to be regulated by primary device (phone). Yes, the speaker is disabled when other output used.

Usually volume control is not device specific. Bluetooth speakers allow control from devices like an iPhone 5 or an android phone. You should be able to control the speaker volume from your phone.
1232455
Yes - as long as you're running your input through the RCA inputs, you can mute the speaker output and use headphones only while still controlling the headphone volume independently

I am in the same situation. I found this on Amazon - Monoprice 108231 2-Channel A/B Speaker Selector with Volume Control.It has 2 inputs and 2 outputs. Only ONE input at a time. The 2 outputs can be turned on individually or both.

Yes you can control volume from the device that is connected to the speakers whether they are Bluetooth or connected via wire.
