Volume Mixer settings on Windows
« on: April 13, 2016, 06:01:52 AM »
Just curious and I may be the only one to see this, but in the volume mixer settings from the toolbar in windows my Xlights volume is so huge that the slider for volume cannot be shown (see the pic). I was wondering if this happens to others or is it just my computer. Right now I am on 2016.9 but this has happened since I installed Xlights. If this is just me, then I can try to figure it out through other avenues.

I haven't looked lately.  I know we talked about this issue last year among the developers telling Sean about it.  I thought it had been resolved but I haven't tried lately to see.

Wow, I'd never even looked. If I expand the window horizontally, I can see the shoulder and part of the Nutcracker head. No sign of the actual slider.

We don't really understand why windows does not pick up the right sized icon all the time.

Interesting note on this issue. Whenever I install the latest release, the Volume mixer icon is small for the first run of the program, but every subsequent running, the icon is huge. Wierd that the first running produces a small icon, but after that it is back to being huge.

I've never even had to open that volume mixer.  Does xlights really need to be set differently for it's volume?

It does if you are using it on zoom and sharing pc audio. For some reason it is super loud.

Are you using a build that you built today?   I made some changes to the Frame icon that might have fixed it.

Yeah so maybe you've fixed it.  I tried 2016.34 and it does show big like everyone else.  Is there a Github issue we can close? lol.

I built a new pull today and it does seem to be fixed..
