Little issue with RR. FIgured to ask the experts!

Alright well I'm using RR as my front end, but when i play music i cannot control the volume/mute in RR. The buttons do nothing. I am using Breakaway in the background as well to filter the music quality and the only way i can lower volume is through breakaway for some reason. Its just a pain to exit the front end and go to breakaway to adjust then go back into RR. Any ideas guys?

time to check the breakaway audio review thread

there are ways to get the volume control to work, but nothing is implemented when it is first installed.

Seems that no one has found how to get it to work in rr. Have you?

i really haven't tried it much-- i use a external program for audio tweaking, and i use a external volume control..

but i am downloading breakaway now, and have some ideas. let me get back to you in a couple minutes/hours..

ok, i'm back and dissapointed.

i cannot get the rr volume control to work with the minimal amount that i know(tweaking settings).. next, i will attempt to screw up my pc by editing the ini file, but it might be best to wait for someone with better programming experience..

:P you don't have to go through drastic measures if your files will be at risk! I just couldn't figure it out myself either, was wondering if its just not possible..or if i was really not seeing/doing something right. Maybe some one here has got this to work previously, hopefully they speak up :P, I do like breakaway, is there any other program like it I could use yet be able to control the volume?

soundman thanks for the try. I am not sure why no one has tried it. I dont even know where to start. Whos brain should we pick for this one?

**soundman98** · 08-01-2011, 11:04 PM

bluezx3, and mitch come to mind--either should be able to help more with the in-depth coding that this might require... i just haven't taken enough time to pick apart rr to understand it all yet..

i will sending a pm to the creator of breakaway very shortly--possibly to see if he can update it to be a little more forgiving on the sound devices it see's(one outside program that will allow volume control is Virtual Audio Cable--VAC, but it doesn't show up in the available list in the breakaway menu)
