New project - Mixer

@Jabirulo

That are my current tooltypes (i cancelled all the older WIP version we tested and i update to 1.35 using AmiUpdate)

Quote:

BTW where should Mixer drawer install/copy on next update?
(via AmiUpdate Autoinstall)

1)In SYS:Utillities/Mixer (that one seems more logical)
2)In SYS:Utilities/Commodities/Mixer
3)Suggestions are welcome

TIA

Downloaded mixer from os4depot, unarchived nad changed APPMENU=YES and when I close/iconify I get the Mixer item/option in Workbenhc/Tools menu ¿:-/

Mmm .. strange, instead i installed Mixer from AmiUpdate, will check the OS4Depot version

@samo79
it should be the same. AmiUpdate downloads it from os4depot.
Maybe it was a "timing" issue (I updated Amiupdate DB and then updated os4depot)

To try AmiUpdate again just copy and old mixer exec version to your APPDIR:Mixer (where you have Mixer installed).

Ok for now seems solved in your 1.36 beta

@Samo79

Uploads sit in the upload que for a while before they are accepted, maybe you downloaded it to quickly.

I use AllKeys to change the volume through the ARexx Port MIXER. The volume changes, but the slide bar won`t appear anymore on bottom right.

Try to add/enable POPWINDOW tooltype/Argument to your Mixer icon.
Or if you're using an ARexx script, try something like this:

+++++++++++++++++++
OPTIONS RESULTS
CALL AddLib('rexxsupport.library',0,-30,0)
address MIXER

POPWINDOW ENABLE
MASTERDOWN
+++++++++++++++++++

It lows the master volume (MASTERUP rises master volume).

POPWINDOW ToolType solved the issue.
Thank you.

I`m running v1.37 and using AllKeys v2.40 works ok now, but it feels slow/unresponsive: there is a little lag when I press volume up/down and the respective graphic volume bar update.

Will mixer support X1000 7.1 sound ever?
If not, could it be excluded from offered AmigaUpdates for X1000 users?

As it has been said now pretty often, which you'd know if you'd use the search button, the onboard chip does not feature mixer abilities in it's hardware and as such cannot be supported by mixer.

Same as with other newer cards, i.e. Juli@ (even though the card has an Envy24HT chip)

Quote:
Yes, simply delete it

@vox

Well, Mixer supports some PCI soundcards (SBLive, Envy24ht,..) and X1000 has PCI slots, so maybe someone "likes" such soundcards
And if you don't want that Mixer shows on your AmiUpdate list, just add it to the 'Manage Ignores...' list.

@Cass

Does V1.36 lag? Or just is the newer V1.37. I just added one "little" check (to mute off if volume at bottom of slider). Well and removing timer.device's functions and using newlib (internal) "timer" functions.

Do you use POPWINDOWDELAY=<value> tooltype? It's the time it displays de window/fader, but only if using on an ARexx script.
Is such lag when using with/"under" AllKeys v2.40?
If you don't run AllKeys, Mixer doesn't lag?

If you want I can send you a v1.38beta (no big changes, only bugs fixed)

@jabirulo:

Quote:Yep - like me. I use a PCI sound card (currently a Revolution 5.1) in my X1000 as well as the HD audio, depending on what I want to do.

In general, software updates should always be offered through AmiUpdate for all platforms where they can be used. E.g. the HD audio driver should of course only be offered for the X1000 (currently), but the sii3114ide driver should be offered for all platforms where such a card could physically be mounted, i.e. machines supporting PCI or PCIe 1x (as I believe those are the interfaces with which such cards exist), even if most people will never need such a card on the X1000 or for that matter on the Sam440ep/flex.

So the same should be true for the Mixer.

Best regards,

I`m currently using v1.37.
My TOOLTYPES were all bracketed, so POPWINDOWDELAY=25 helped a bit. The problem is that if i press VUP e.g. twice, fader pops up and moves a single step , then it lags as it has to wait (POPWINDOWDELAY), close fader and pop up again for the second step.
I have the impression that v1.36 kept fader open (no extra drawings) and just moved the slide button according to the keys pressed (check yourself this out).
I`d be happy to test your beta version (mail sent).
