Windows Noise and Volume Control
Two problems
1) how do I find and replace the windows startup / shutdown noise so that I do not wake up my household every time I start the laptop in the A.M.? 2) how do I put a main volume control on the desktop so at any time I can adjust the volume? No popup from the taskbar please! e.g. have a slider AND have startup only volume setting and maybe other? TIA |

Also, some media player programs have tone controls. In other words, it's not a standard OS feature and it's up to individual programs to supply it or not as they see fit. |

We used to be able to do this from the SOUND control panel applet, but for some reason that escapes me completely, Microsoft decided you cannot do this anymore. I use Winareo's Tweaker tool to change the sound. You can search on Google how to do this manually as well, by using a resource editor to edit imageres.dll...

TIA For $24, I think it is, you can get KeyRemapper and for free you can get AutoHotkey, which does as much or more, though one of the things I want I haven't figure out yet, and KeyRemapper did it easily (but only for 30 days) They let you remap your keys, and since I never use the / or * keys on the numeric keyboard, I assigned them to Volume Down and Up. I only use Pause in a command box, so I assigned it to Mute. These are the only multimedia keys I would be using right now, so I don't need a special multimedia keyboard. (Oh yeah, that would be another solution for you. You don't actually have to SEE a slider, do you?) What I haven't been able to do with AutoHotkey is make exceptions, make Pause act as Mute *except* when CMD is running, disable Insert *only* when Agent6 is running. Can anyone help me with that? |

No popup from the taskbar please! e.g. have a slider AND have startup only volume setting and maybe other? TIA The easiest way to solve both is to use "Customize" on your System-Tray. To do this click on the Arrow icon located at the bottom right corner of your Window. Then look for something like this: Customize-Icons http://s12.postimg.org/ghpgkiokt/2015_11_22_0142.png When you click on the Customize text shown in the above picture, you will get another window that looks like this: Second-Window http://s7.postimg.org/9j964p1p7/2015_11_22_0145.png From this you can customize your icons in the system tray. You then need to Mute your sound system by clicking on the Volume/Speaker icon in your system tray. This makes ensures that no sound is emitted from the speakers. You can control the sound system as and when you want by clicking on this icon or just plug in your headphones 24/7 so that the sound is only audible when the headset is worn, not otherwise. -- /*This post contains rich text (HTML). if you don't like it then you can kill-filter the poster without crying about it like a small baby so that you don't see this poster's posts ever again.*/ /*This message is best read in Mozilla Thunderbird as it uses 21st century technology.*/ |

It's amazing how powerful the word "advanced" is with me. Even though I have hot keys for volume control and this couldn't be that much better, that word made me want it. And maybe the high-tech superscript 2, and the word complete. |

If your sound card drivers include its own mixer applet, it might have tone controls. Also, some media player programs have tone controls. In other words, it's not a standard OS feature and it's up to individual programs to supply it or not as they see fit. Graphic equalizers are implemented in the driver, by doing DSP using the system CPU. Look for a custom panel with the equalizer sliders. This is a feature of more modern systems, since "DSP can be for free". It only "wastes a couple hundred megahertz" of your CPU. http://g18.picoodle.com/ltd/img18/3/...em_6c60367.png That's ten times better than tone controls, because it has ten sliders for you to play with :-) And that's for the cheapest of sound solutions, the ones that only have analog to digital and digital to analog converters inside. The item in the picture, is the RealTek control panel. Some add-in sound cards, have powerful DSPs. As one poster here called such effects, it makes "digital mutilation" of sound possible. To the point that humans find the total effect unpleasant ("it ruined my music"). Even some chipsets have been equipped for this. The Nforce2 motherboards with MCP-T Southbridge, the Southbridge had *five* DSP processors inside it. If you needed a graphical equalizer there, the Southbridge could do the math and support the sliders. At the time, the system CPUs weren't all that strong. But for many other sound cards (like my CMI8738 based ones), no DSP in hardware, no DSP in driver, no bass or treble sliders, no nothing. But the card cost $10. I used the graphic equalizer on the stereo to fix the output of this :-) My stereo had an excellent mixer on it, and all the toys in the computer room plugged into it. Like all things electronic though, eventually it passed away (no smoke or anything). http://www.tim.id.au/blog/wp-content...1/DSC00651.jpg Paul |
