Winamp Volume Control - Universally changes volume? :S.

Happy0 · 5th November 2006, 12:42

When I turn down my winamp volume, it turns down the universal sound (So like, if I wanted to keep my music low for talking to someone over a voice conversation on MSN I couldn't because their voice would be turned down too.)

Is there any configuration steps to change this? Or is this how it's supposed to work? My friend says this doesn't happen to him.

Try selecting DirectSound output as output plugin. DirectSound has a volume independent from the Wave/system volume.

Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Plug-ins > Output

:: huggle :: Thank you so much. I tried changing the output, but I guess it was wrong of me to only try one or two of them... :X.

You're welcome.

(btw, if you tried Diskwriter as output as well, you may want to check your hard drive for huge .wav files. All output would've been written to disk, normally in C:\)

Many people ask for this issue.

I guess it's time to remove the old and outdated out_wave from the bundle and use DirectSound instead.

If there are problems with 98/Me, then simply blame the old OS.

As I was using 98, I used DirectSound too, with no problems.
