I played around with ACT's Compatibility Administrator, and found this compatibility fix called: HardwareAudioMixer This seems to make XP's or ReactOS's volume control program work on modern Windows by making it control the soundcard's volume, and not the application volume. So far, ReactOS's volume control works better with this option because XP's doesn't control my headphones. |

Fun fact: You can run sndvol32 with the parameter /t to get the tray flyout.

Confirmed working. Splendid stuff, Tech!  I'm getting good results with the version from Windows 98. I got the tray flyout to work but is there a way to enable the tray icon? I'm currently running it via shortcut via the desktop. Thanks again Tech. |

Thank you, both of you. I tried replacing Stobject.dll from ReactOS, but no dice. Still didn't wanted to work for me, but that AHK script works brilliantly. Is there a way to add a function to the script so the icon changes to mute icon when you mute the sound?
Many thanks, to the both of you.

Fixed a bug where double clicking the tray icon would open full sndvol32 by making the menu separate from the tray icon. Should function the same except without the bug

I am sure it is possible but my AHK knowledge is basically searching things in StackOverflow Yeah, I've been reading up a few threads over on the main AHK boards, and tbh, it's mostly going over my head. I'm gonna try a few more scripts I've found on there, and if nothing comes of it, I'll sign up and ask someone on there if they can help. |

Should function the same except without the bug Tried out the new version of your script; it works great, except it now loads up full audio output dialog/mixer on startup of the script. Can easy just hide it away though, so no biggie. |

I started again with a fresh script and all is well. Thanks TechSalt. |

 Sorted it. I modififed someone else's script - it's a bit wonky, and abit messy, but it works. EDIT: The script I modified is called "IdleMute". EDIT 2: I've included the script here, you need to place it in C:/Classic (so it's full path would be C:/Classic/Volume Control Classic) and make sure you place SNDVOL32.exe in SysWOW64 (you will also need to add the HardwareAudioMixer compat fix as noted above in TechSalt's opening post to it). Place a copy of mmsys2.cpl in System32 as well as SYSWOW64. And then you can run either the compiled executable or the ahk script. I've placed a detailed read me with it to help anyone out if they need it. EDIT 3: Updated script - I left a setting on in the ini file that caused issues. Corrected it. |
