Option to adjust the Internal Volume sensitivity (number of steps).
Do this or similar
-
Are you looking for sub-percents?
-
With internal volume, each notch is 0.5 dB. That's a pretty fine control.
-
I'm looking for 1dB steps.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Well you get 0.5 dB with Internal volume, so that's fine isn't it?
-
No, that's not fine. I want faster control.
When I hold Volume button on my remote pressed continuously I always overshoot the desired level, so I have to do it step by step, and it takes me too long to get where I want.
If I can change the volume in 1 dB increments it'll be two times faster and more convenient. I think 0.5 dB increments are fine for the rotary volume control, but when you do it pressing the button, bigger increments are better.
-
I really misunderstood your original post. I thought for sure you wanted finer control, not courser.
Honestly this seems like a really minor gripe.
-
Yes, this is a very minor annoyance, however, I have to deal with it every time I use the MC.
-
What remote do you use? Is it one where you can customize what each button does? If so, set the volume increment to 5 instead of 1.
-
Thank you, Matt. But I don’t really understand what you are suggesting to do. Where should I set the volume increment?
I use a universal IR remote, which learned the keystrokes from my IR keyboard.
Basically, the remote works as an IR keyboard, so, the Volume Up button is Ctrl + =, and the Volume Down is Ctrl + -.
I think I can play with the keyboard Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate in Windows to alleviate my problem somehow.
-
I'm glad you added that. You can't customize what MC uses for steps for internal volume, but you can certainly alter how a remote sends the commands. MC has very nice automation commands for Volume Control (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/The_Command_Line) (and pretty much everything else), and you can specify the steps.
To increase volume by 10%: mc20.exe /VolumeUp 10
To decrease volume by 10%: mc20.exe /VolumeDown 10
You can also set volume percentages directly. Or, you know, just blast it multiple times, I guess. But if you can run a command line when you press a button, then this is easily solved.

Thank you guys.
I just changed the parameters in Resource.xml from "1" to "2" and the problem was solved!

Put a copy in "Custom Resources" that way we won't overwrite it on install. That's a folder you should create next to "Default Resources".

This is exactly what I did.
