MMW5, and Windows 11 volume mixer

Post by dlimburg »

When I booted up MM a few days ago, I had no sound from my computer connected system.
I checked any possible hardware for problems, but there were none.
Going into Windows 11 Settings System>Sound>Volume Mixer, I found that the volume mixer
had set MM to zero volume. Restoring the mixer, music came back right away.
This problem has continued over the last few days.

I'm wondering if it's a MM problem or a Microsoft issue.
Has anyone here experienced it?

What Output Plug-in are you using in MediaMonkey and is WASAPI set to Exclusive Mode?

I set the WASAPI to 'exclusive mode', so I'll watch now if this solves the problem.

Thanks for your response.

It appears now that when the Exclusive Mode is enabled, the Windows volume mixer leaves MM at 100% volume.

Thanks for your help

I set WASAPI to 'exclusive mode', and whenever I enter MM, the Windows volume mixer leaves MM at 100% volume. Has anyone managed to resolve this yet?

Volume control is handed over the system in exclusive mode.
