Hello,

Having an issue with Media Center that when it is open it hijacks the controls to only affect the internal level of the app.

This is problematic because the overall system volume cannot be controlled. I'm running MacOS 14.3.1.

I've tried all the different settings available when clicking the Speaker icon next to the volume bar inside the app. I have also tried settings in the options and I'm making sure that Open Device with Exclusive Access is not checked in Core Audio Settings. What else could be the issue here?

Are you saying that you want MC TO control the system volume or to NOT control the system volume?
What device are you selecting in MC's Audio settings?

Regardless of what device is chosen is MC's settings, once the application is running, the volume controls no longer displays the gray sound level overlay that is typical of Mac OS's. Does that help to answer your question?

[bob]

If you don't want MC to use the media keys (which generates the overlay) go into MC's settings and under
General->Advanced->Media Key Mode set to disabled.
Restart MC for the change to take effect.

That does it, thank you.
