New project - Mixer

@328gts

I'd rather not add another NO_... tooltype for now, but I've just compiled a version with the Revo first in the list so it should do what you want.

Just give me your email address and I'll send it to you.

@AlexC

thanks Alex! PM sent

@Raziel

thanks again for the help..now I have an idea of how to make AREXX scripts

@AlexC

I have a feature request for you

http://bugs.os4depot.net/?function=viewissue&issueid=586

@samo79

try playing with the tooltypes settings...here's mine that opens up bottom center of WB:

DONOTWAIT
(CX_PRIORITY=0)
(CX_POPUP=YES)
(CX_POPKEY=alt f10)
(IMAGEPATH=Images)
(NO_VIA)
(POPWINDOW)
(POPWINDOWLEFTEDGE=920)
(POPWINDOWTOPEDGE=500)
(POPWINDOWDELAY=70)
(STEPSIZE=5)

@all

Hi!

I need some help with Mixer, I can't get it to work like I want it to. The issue is that the volume changes each time I open the GUI, like it loads some settings just then. It works like this, I bring up a player (anything that plays sound) and start a mp3 for example. The volume is really low but as soon as I bring up the GUI the volume gets a lot louder.

If I quit the player and starts it again, or another player, the volume will be low again and the same thing happens if I bring up the GUI.

I have it runing from WBStartup with the following tooltypes:

DONOTWAIT
(CX_PRIORITY=0)
CX_POPUP=NO
CX_POPKEY=alt f10
(IMAGEPATH=Images)
NO_VIA
(POPWINDOW)
(POPWINDOWLEFTEDGE=920)
(POPWINDOWTOPEDGE=500)
(POPWINDOWDELAY=70)
(STEPSIZE=5)

I also wonder if it needs to be put in S-S? At the moment it is with SETLEVELS but I've tried to just have it in WBStartup, just in S-S and both. SETLEVELS as a tooltype doesn't work, I can't bring up the GUI at all in that case so I suppose that it is just for CLI usage. Is there a point in having it in S-S at all or should I just run it as a commoditie in WBStartup?

Really, can someone tell me how to set this up?

I got an A1 G4 XE with SB Live! . AmigaOS 4.1 upd 2.

Thanks!

hmm... noone? Does everybody have the same issue or aren't we very helpful at all these days?

@hotrod

Unfortunately I'm not home to directly check it for you.

Didn't check mine, but look the other member's tooltypes.

NO_VIA is in brackets, while yours it's not. Try that (to disable it).

@Phantom

Thanks but I've tried with brackets on too and it doesn't change anything. I see nothing wrong with my tooltypes. I just wait and hope that someone got some suggestions, info on their installation etc.

@hotrod

Here's mine tooltypes:

DONOTWAIT
CX_PRIORITY=2
CX_POPUP=YES
CX_POPUPKEY=alt f8
(POPWINDOW)
(POPWINDOWLEFTEDGE=920)
(POPWINDOWTOPEDGE=500)
(POPWINDOWDELAY=70)
(STEPSIZE=5)
(NO_VIA)

@hotrod


hmm hopefully AlexC can help you out...try emailing him or I'm sure he'll check in here soon enough

I've noticed the same thing with the ESS Solo-1 card I'm testing here and I'm not sure the issue comes from Mixer itself as it sets the volume on the card just like it's supposed to (it bypasses AHI), while AHI for some reason sets it to ~50% when the slider is set to 100%.

Maybe the AHI driver isn't using the right maximum value to set the volume on the SBLive and the Solo-1 cards.

I can't do anything about the SBLive driver but I can fix the Solo-1 driver if something is wrong in there.

@AlexC

Thanks for the answer . I can live without Mixer untill a solution comes up. The plan was to finally get use of the volume keys on my keyboard and it was more or less working except for this issue making it useless.

@hotrod

I have a similar problem on my Sam ...

@328gts

Your tooltypes doesn't work for me, window will open always at the bottom :-/

@hotrod

Actually I might be able to get the SBLive source code so if I can fix it in the Solo driver I should be able to fix it on the SBLive too.

What you can do in the meantime is set the PCM slider in Mixer to 50% and save it like that, that should match the current AHI volume, and then assign your volume keys arexx commands to control the Master slider as that one is processed at the end of the chain so it would control your AHI playback as intended.


@samo79

I had forgotten that the window position tooltypes only let you set the position of the popup window (the little window which pops up temporarily to shows the one slider affected by the volume/mute arexx command) so I'll have to add another set of tooltypes in mixer 1.30 to set the mixer window position.

@AlexC

Thanks Alex, instead how about adding an option in menu like "save window position" ?

@AlexC

Good news . I'll give it a try. Thanks again

@samo79

Although eventually it could be added to the menu, I'd rather not go there ATM because it requires adding a section of code to load the icon, modify the tooltypes and save it back, which I'd first have to learn how to do, taking time I'd rather be spending on more pressing projects.
