Hello netlanders!

  Is there anyone out there using a Soundblaster board who has hacked
the volume control so that volume can be controlled externally from further
away?  With my monitor on top of my computer, it's a royal pain to
reach around the back each time I play a different game, since each
game seems to have different loudness levels.

  I'd like a solution where I don't have to spend too much time with
a soldering iron near the board :-)  Alternatively, is there a way to 
do something with software that will let me "taper" the volume if
I'm going to start a game that I know tends to be a little loud?

  Thanks in advance for the help.
