JRiver MC plays at full volume

<< < (3/9) > >>

Mupi:
Installed MC22 and I dont have the problem. I have set the volume as "system volume" and I have control over the volume  unlike MC23 which was sending full volume.
Will wait and see if this stays before I increase the volume of my receiver to the usual level because another member mentioned in this thread that he had the problem with MC22 also. May be that is why this was moved to MC22.
I think this is a serious issue. Many of us set the amp/receiver gain/volume at a higher level and control the media player volume as we dont want to keep changing the amp/receiver gain/volume for different sources. So if MC22 or MC23 sends full volume, then that could ruin the speakers.

The volume protection doesnt help here as MC22 or 23 is already sending full volume.

Mupi:
Well MC22 is also giving the same problem. I had control over the volume initially. I stopped playing for a while and when I started after a while, MC22 is now sending full volume. Glad I didnt set my receiver volume back to normal. So I guess I will stop using MC22 or MC23 until this bug gets fixed.

DarkPenguin:
So if you have the system volume mixer up MC slams it to max as soon as it starts?

DJLegba:
Check the Sound setting in your control panel. Is JRiver Media Center listed as a device, and if so, is it the default? I realize this doesn't appear to be relevant, but I had a similar issue. If you don't want to use Media Center to play from other Windows applications you can uncheck the WDM driver in the Features section of the General setup area.

Mupi:
Well JR will not be listed as a device as it is a software. The Realtek optical output is listed as a device and that is my default device. However JR shows up in the volume panel of windows. Since I am using the exclusive option in WASAPI, when I am running JR, I am not using any other audio device. So I guess there should not be a need to mess with anything else in windows. I am not using MC22/23 to play from other applications. I am playing just in itself.

I am able to move the volume bar of either JR MC22/23 or that of the PC but MC22/23 is constantly sending full volume. So moving the volume bar has no effect.

No matter what option I set for the volume like system volume, internal volume, application volume etc. MC is always sending full volume.  So I would rather not use it until the bug is reproduced and fixed. I use different software in my professional career. So I know what it takes to reproduce a bug and fix it. Until then I have to look for some other media player. I thought I really liked the features of JR MC. For $49 it is a no brainer. Unfortunately this happened.
