[Moved] Non-Amplified Push Button Volume Control

[BrownSubmarine]

I want to replace a rotary volume control with a digital push button volume control (for 3.5mm jack) that does not include amplification. looking online they all seem to amplify the audio signal. is there a non-amplified push button volume control circuit out there somewhere?
I basically want it to act the same as the rotary where it can lower the received volume to nothing then back up to the received volume again.

Hi,

Look for digital pot.

Thanks Klaus. I have tried looking up digital potentiometers but there is no clear instructions or tutorial of how to make a simple volume control.
i tried using the DS1802 but I did not want to use both positive and negative power inputs and there were no instructions to do otherwise, so i could not get it to work.
Is there a way to make a digital potentiometer using a typical external hard drive's 12v AC power supply as I have a few of these lying around

Hi,

look for: AD5122/AD5142

they have dual power supply and very low power. Two cell coin batteries will work many weeks.

Also check if signal voltage range is OK for you.

edit/added: i just recognized it has no pushbutton function. An additional ATTiny?
Or you just use analog SPDT switches and several stages....
