XP Home volume question.
This is a question that was passed on to me from my sister at college. She's running XP Home on a toshiba laptop, and she says after every mp3 she plays the "wave volume" drops to 0 and she has to move the slider back up. I assume she means the wave balance slider in the volume properties "play control" option screen. Anyone know a cause or solution to this? I've seen it in the past on a friends computer as well. Thanks

Wonder if it's heat related? Highly un-likely...

For the record, I have always had that problem (not that severe though) with WinAmp, and even the new Winapm3. After starting a playlist, everything would go fine, until i clicked on Winamp again i.e to skip a song or even just stop a song. The balance would then be slightly to the right and that inturn would cause the loudness to go down. I had to move my Wave slider in Volume Controls up or down to bring it back to normal. It doesn't actually change the position of the wave slider, I can even move the wave down and the balance and volume would be restored. Its like there is a flawed compatibility between Winamp and DirectSound (although it happens with DirectSound disabled in Winamp too). No amount of sound driver upgrades ever helps, and the problem is only with Winamp/WInamp3. Too bad it's my favorite .mp3 player

Yup, I agree with Dilly...seems that any time you change a setting in Winamp (or even load it), it takes over your windows sound settings. When closed, you need to readjust all the settings.
This only happens in a small number of cases, and is documented somewhere on the winamp site...something to do with the brand of sound card I think... |
