There could be a controller message at the beginning of the track interfering with the fader. Have a look in the event list. Another possibility is that a snapshot, or some other kind of automation, is locking it too. Try selecting the whole track and deleting only the track automation.

I've assigned the midi channel, and everything seems to be assigned to its proper destination, but the volume will not change. Any ideas? Thanks. Omar Binno
