Thread: Multiple Soundcards - Volume Control...

Hey Guino,

The Beta RR worked! My USB soundcard was #4 in the RRConfig list apparently, and it now works!

Now the only problem is, whenever I close the second instance of RR, it sets my soundcard wave line level to zero so my first RR instance can no longer be heard. I'm guessing there is some code in the exit procedure somewhere causing this.

We're getting there!

OK, I think I found the mute problem, but again, not 100% sure if this is whats causing it:

The mixer seems to be getting closed BEFORE the line is unmuted in the shutdown sub. This would cause the DoMute call to happen on the default sound card, which would infact mute, rather than unmute.

Code:

'Close Mixer
If hMixer <> 0 Then mixerClose hMixer: hMixer = 0

The line above needs to be called AFTER this line:

'UMute Sound (if we muted it)
If ExitMute And Not VOICE_ON Then DoMute MasterVolMap

I'm guessing the above comment is meant to say "UnMute" not "UMute" too.

Think that would solve the muting problem?

EDIT: I added the line "ExitMute=false" to RR.ini (second instance) and it fixed the problem, because of course neither of those mute commands on shutdown would be called. So that just convinces me more that the above lines are indeed causing the bug.

Should I start another thread re: the multi-instance video issues?

I'd say so, though not sure when I'll ever get to it.

I also need to change that shutdown procedure to only mute winamp.
