Vista volume settings

[DarkManX4lf]

Ok in Vista the volume settings are different than in XP. How do I get the Volume settings to be the same as it was in XP? Like if right click on the speaker icon in the systray, and go to volume mixer, I should have options to raise or lower Wave, CD, Main, etc...

As far as I can tell, you set the volume for each application individually as it's running. The mixer is different and there's no going back. I'm no so sure I like it, personally. I can't adjust my line in volume! 🙁

Sure you can. Go to control panel -> sound. Click on the recording tab and double click on line-in. Go to the levels tab and you can adjust the volume.

Yeah, except it's listed as "not available", and when I adjust the volume it has no effect, despite my satellite receiver clearly being plugged into my line in. :thumbsdown:

It's a known bug in Vista.

I can adjust my line in, but the volumes in Vista seem alot different than in XP, in XP I left all the levels at default (at 50%) when I do that in Vista, sound comming from line in is so loud and sound comming from vista apps are low or loud...so annoying..

So there is no way to easily access the line in control ?
