Leif Claesson, the inventor of audio processing core technology utilized by Octiv and Volume Logic, in 2007 joined with Octiv co-founder Keith Edwards to form a partnership to sell follow-on technology called Breakaway.

Having compatibility issues with Apple's Mac OS X v10.5, Plantronics ceased further development with Volume Logic, while leaving windows users with a v1.4, which is compatible with iTunes 7. This new version was recognized in Softpedia, MacUpdate, and Brothersoft. In late 2005, Volume Logic 1.3 was released. The Volume Logic plug-in incorporated multi-band dynamics processing technology, solving common audio problems such as speaker distortion and volume shifting. Presets stored settings for the amount of each kind of processing to be applied: automatic gain control, limiting, bass boost, etc. Volume Logic disabled RealPlayer's volume control and uses its own.
It corrected a problem with RealPlayer and the system's wave volume control. It was designed to subjectively improve the listening experience by increasing loudness of soft passages, controlling loudness of loud passages without audible distortion, emphasizes loudness of bass separately, for example. Volume Logic was available for RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, Winamp and Musicmatch. In April 2005, the Octiv corporation was acquired by Plantronics.
in 2004, it was the first plug-in for Apple's iTunes for Mac and Windows. Volume Logic was commercial software which added audio enhancement features to media players.
