Problem with volume lvl on WIN 7
« on: August 23, 2009, 06:46:49 pm »

So I have this strange prblm...
 So this is what's about...
The green pulsing line...( the volume line or whatever its name is...)
I've noticed that when I'm listening with J.R. it's starting from position 20-30% lower than when I'm listening with Media Player or Winamp... Is there some option in J.R. for this? I checked everything and... no succedd

In more detail... My volume in J.R is lower than when I'm using other players(maybe 20-30% lower...) This green line is higher when i'm using Winamp for example.
I'm sry! I'm using Media Center 13.

In MC's playback options, try switching betweene DirectSound and Wave Out.

Check the options for volume in tools/options/startup.

Only "Optimize for best sound quality" is ticked

In the program, check:
Menu > Player > Volume

You can choose between the system volume or application volume on Vista / W7.  Many programs default to application volume but we default to system volume.

This may explain the difference.

I tried that too but same volume... System or Application volume it's the same
I've noticed also that when I'm changing someth in the DSP Studio the volume for a 5-10s gets louder(Equa or effects ... etc..) I want this louder volume to stay permanent.

Try disabling all DSPs for testing.  Remember that clip protection will turn down the volume if you apply DSPs that cause clipping.

Nothing happened when I disabled all the DSP's but, when click Overflow Handling : None the volume turns up, but the bass line is very hard... And this is happening only when I "equa" is checked...

Omg! At last the volume is okay!  ;) Thank u very much!

This are my equa setting for now. Previously mine overflow handling was set to "clip protection" and my " Pre Amp" equa was set to maximum. So u can see how I fixed it. Thnks again and keep up the good work, cause this is one of the best players available!

Yikes, no wonder that was causing you problems.  Look at those peak levels - 230%.  And you had the preamp gain maxed, and you had overload clipping enabled.  Those three things were all fighting against one another.  I'd say MC was doing you a favor by cranking all that back down again!
