Relative audio adjustment not working
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2022 9:32 am
Hi. I tried setting up SetVol to adjust my computer's audio output by 5% steps, but couldn't get it to work.
First, I tried setting it to be run by P2R, and afterwards tried running it directly from command line. (Tried both with and without running as administrator, same results) My file location is C:\Program Files\SetVol. Here are my results:
For any command that uses the + parameter, eg 'SetVol.exe +5', 'SetVol.exe +7', 'SetVol.exe +five' the program sets the volume to the given number. For example, +5 just sets the computer audio level to 5%, regardless of what the previous audio level was.
For any command that uses the - parameter, the volume is set to 0%.
It seems like the program might be getting a read error when trying to access the current audio level, defaults to thinking the current volume is at 0%, and sets the audio level accordingly?
My sound playback hardware is a simple USB to 3.5mm jack adapter, its properties does not appear to show any odd multi-channel shenanigans. For good measure I also tried enabling one of my screens' audio devices and set that to be the default playback device, and had the exact same issue.
