JRiver MC plays at full volume

You don't want mixed components from both versions when trying to solve these problems.

I don't think uninstalling is necessary. Running the right version is.
I don't know of any conflict caused by "mixed components".

But I do Jim.
How about running a MC22 version of the WDM with MC23?
How about turning off Windows UAC because of those annoying popup messages, and so never seeing the request to update components to the MC23 version, or visa versa, when switching back and forth between versions?
What are the implications of using different versions of madVR and LAV installed on the same PC with different versions of MC? Should work together, because MC uses the version installed in its directory structure. But are there any Registry implications?
Multiple versions of MC work fine together, if a user knows what they are doing. Otherwise, it is a bit of a crapshoot.
No offence to you or Mupi, but s/he registered today and has a major problem that no-one else has. Best to keep the installation clean and simple for problem solving.
JimH:
There's no harm in doing what you suggest. And I won't argue that you can't make a mistake.
MC23 playback using MC22's WDM would work. It's just a driver. Setting both to use WDM might be "interesting", but we can't prevent users from doing things they shouldn't do.
Red October HQ installs and uses it's own copy of madVR.
Turning off UAC isn't a good idea, and users should not be surprised if they have trouble doing so.
And so on.
Most one-off problems end up being something "special" on a machine. You know the usual suspects.
In this case, something (not MC23) is setting system volume to 100%. Windows? Another application? Computers usually do what you tell them to do.
I do appreciate your help. I just don't want suspicion propagated. I hope you understand.

Or seem to have. You said "However JR shows up in the volume panel of windows" but I'm not sure exactly what you mean there.
Just check that JRiver doesn't appear in the Windows Playback Devices list, to be sure.
PS: Also, as you have moved between MC22 and MC23, backup the library you are currently using, completely uninstall both MC22 and MC23, then reinstall MC23 and restore the library backup you made. You don't want mixed components from both versions when trying to solve these problems.

In windows volume mixer i.e control panel -> hardware and sound-> adjust system volume, JRiver is shown. But JRiver is not shown as an audio device in windows. Like I said before, Realtek optical audio is shown as the audio device.
When I installed MC22 I did check the option to delete the library.
Long story short, I want to set the volume to "system volume" and be able to adjust the MC22 or 23 volume using the system volume. This way I just set my receiver volume at my desired level and change only the system (PC) volume. This is not working as MC sends out full volume. I dont want to keep changing the AVR volume. I use a wireless mouse and so changing the PC system volume when I am using different things (not all at the same time of course) on my PC like playing JRiver or playing youtube videos or watching CNN videos etc., it is a lot easier for me to just change the PC volume than to reach out to the remote all the time. Plus when I am playing say JR, I am also checking emails and so if I want to turn down the volume to focus on the email, it is easier to use the mouse and change the system volume.
Like I also said, if I am able to use PC system volume with itunes and all other things that play sound on my PC, I dont think there is any problem with my PC setting. If it happens only with MC22/23 it has to be a problem with MC22/23. For a simple thing like volume, the user should not have to dig deep into windows.
There was another person who said he had the same issue with MC22. I would like to hear from him. Have not seen any posts from him.

There was indeed another person who mentioned he or she has the same problem with MC22. Just that we have not seen more posts from him her. His/her post is way up in the thread.
