WMP volume is screwed and has been for a long time

[Maximilian]

Simple problem, the volume bar does absolutely nothing from around 33-100, it reaches max volume at 33. Why is this? Ive had this behaviour on a variety of hardware, windows vista x64 and 7 x64, media player classics volume bar works perfectly, maximum volume when the bar is at the end, not a third of the way up.

Anyone else have this? Any solution for it?

Mine works properly on two notebooks and three desktops, all the way up to 100%. Maybe it is your hardware or drivers.

Or did you set the volume in the taskbar low and then adjust the volume in Windows media player because if the taskbar volume is set low it will limit the media player volume control ...

Example:
Set the volume of the taskbar at 100%. Then start the media player and adjust the volume and you should now get from 0% all the way to 100% by using the media player volume controls.

Nah its always at 100%. Thinking about volume i just tried something, turns out its the extra gain thats been doing this, seems WMP dosent like the extra 10dbs i added to all my mp3's with MP3gain. I just tried lady gaga bad romance with MP3gains default of 89db instead of 99db and it worked fine...

Weird how that dosent happen with any other media player. Ah well guess il have to convert everything back to 89db and crank the z5500's up an extra bar or two to compensate.
