dex Otaku Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 SS's volume control uses the main control for everything ["Master Volume"] This affects everything coming out of your sound card.. Some programs use a control that is only for the stream they are playing [and won't affect anything else] through DirectSound.Others use the control for the WAVE output [which will affect anything playing back digital audio but nothing else].Open your system mixer, play with the volume control in various programs, and you should be able to tell [immediately] which one they're using by which slider [if any] follows.

dex Otaku Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 windows vista will have a fix for this, you can set any sound level for each program. finally.You can already do that, and have been able to for quite some time [since WDM drivers came out with Win98 if I'm not mistaken]. The choice is somewhere between the hands of the programmers and the users - between what the programmers want to stick you with [i.e. progs like SS that have no playback options at all] and what the user wants to use [i.e. foobar2000 and the like with ASIO, DirectSound, "WAVEOUT", kernel streaming, &c.].I'll note that the DirectSound method [which allows individual control per program] has the added cost [sound-quality wise] of using a mixer that is either software or hardware [depending on your sound adapter and drivers] with multiple layers of processing which adulterate the sound. Some of us find that annoying [because we want the stream getting to the DAC to be exactly what was decoded by the player without any processing or with only the processing we choose].
