Simple but Weird Audio Problem

[danlakey]

I just installed the latest version of GB-PVR and have also just installed a new Sound Blaster Audiogy SE sound card. Drivers for the card are working fine when playing a file through WMP. When I start up GB-PVR and go to play a recorded show, the WAV volume is dropped all the way down to zero.

Now, the Window's "master volume" doesn't move, just the WAV volume bar. If I keep GB-PVR in windowed mode I can raise the WAV volume bar back up and the audio is great.

ONCE I have raised the WAV volume bar up when GB-PVR is running, if I open another video file, still in GB-PVR, the WAV volume bar is dropped to zero again!

My MSI mobo has integrated 7.1 sound and was doing this problem with GB-PVR and that is why I went out and bought a sound blaster card thinking that would fix it, but no dice.

Any thoughts? Maybe my config settings? Is there a way in Windows to "lock" all your volume settings?

Thanks in advance.

I found this one app called volume lock here:
http://www.download.com/VolumeLock/3000-...ag=lst-0-2

Unfortunately its not free, but its not too expensive either, so its an option.
I'm still thinking there has got to be an easier way...

Have you tried to play with the volume control in the config app?

You can set it to control local or master volume within GBPVR.

Also on the Playback tab in the config app, there is an 'Audio Renderer' setting - if it's set to system default, try pointing it at your new card (or changing it to your new card if it's still looking at your old card)

I had the same problem and found this in another thread, from sub:

Try deleting the following registry key if it exists.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Devnz\LastVolume

If that doesnt work, zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

That worked for me!
(I have the volume control in config set to "Local")
