Volume Control in Vista

volume control not working??

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 by BrianPaige | Discussion: DesktopX

I have imported the Silica Volume Control Widget onto my DX desktop on a Vista machine.  It doesn't seem to work.  I can move the slide up and down all I want, but the system volume never changes.

The script itself appears to work, as the value for system.volume does change.  It's just not affecting the actual volume of the system.

Does the script need to be tweaked to work on a Vista machine, or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!
Brian

Vista does some crazy shit with volume.

What you want is the wicked-cool volume control by LittleBoy:

I saw that, but since I'm on a touch-screen computer I don't have a mouse wheel. Maybe I can check out the scripting, though, and somehow merge the two.

Thanks, Zubaz!
