This doesn't actually affect anything, but should still be fixed.

Version

5.2.0-rc4

Actual Behaviour

Excerpt from volumecontrol.json:

"EnabledDevices": [
    ""
  ]

Something is still using the legacy behaviour & adding a blank entry to represent the default device.

Expected Behaviour

The blank entry shouldn't be used since the addition of the EnableDefaultDevice setting.

Reproduction Steps

1. Delete any pre-existing volumecontrol.json file.
2. Start Volume Control (re-creates the json file)
3. View the contents of the JSON file.

When new processes are added to the mixer, it doesn't expand right away - instead showing a scroll bar.

To make it update its size, the mixer must be toggled off and on.

Currently the WPF version has a partially-implemented UI that is mainly intended for testing purposes.
This should be improved before the 5.0.0 release.

• Improve the contrast between the background and foreground layers
• Fix the bright white DataGrid headers.
• Improve the layout of the Settings tab by grouping similar settings together.
• Add a version number watermark.
• Replace overuse of solid colors with gradients, such as on data grid column headers.
• Improve gradient colors
• Add handling for combo boxes
• Improve layout of controls to reduce clutter

Target Selection Hotkeys

This should allow cycling the current target audio session using hotkeys, allowing the user to perform common interactions with the application using only the keyboard.

Process Container Overhaul:

• Process List
  • Predictability of the order of processes is important.
    • Do not allow removal of the current selection to preserve positioning.
    • Allow configurable sorting, but prioritize implementation first.
  • Maintain an iterator pointing to the currently selected process.
    • Increment
      • Used when the Next Target hotkey is pressed.
    • Decrement
      • Used when the Previous Target hotkey is pressed.
    • Set Position
      • Used when loading the program.
    • Get Position
      • Used by almost everything

New Settings:

All of the below settings will only be checked if at least one of the target selection hotkeys is enabled.

• TargetNotificationEnabled
  • Type: bool
  • Default: true
• TargetNotificationTimeout
  • Type: uint
  • Default: 1000
• ListEnabled
  • Type: bool
  • Default: true
• ListTimeout
  • Type: uint
  • Default: 4000

New Hotkeys:

• Next Target
  • Self-explanatory.
• Previous Target
  • Self-explanatory.
• Show Target List
  • Triggers the target selection notification.
    • Displays the whole target list.
    • Displays the current target with a highlight.
    • Next Target & Previous Target live-update the selection indicator.

Order of Operations

Occurs each time a target selection hotkey is pressed.

1. Reload the list of audio sessions & update the process list, preserving as much positioning as possible.
2. Increment/decrement the process indexer if applicable.
3. If Show Target List was pressed, show the target list window, otherwise show the toast notification if enabled.

Pressing any of the application-specific hotkeys will now affect the newly selected audio session.

Target Process Dropdown:

This is the pre-existing method of notifying the user, but it isn't suitable as an indicator due to the fact that the main window is usually hidden.

Toast Notification:

• Configurable on-screen toast notification that shows the newly selected process for x milliseconds.

List Window

• Shows all currently registered audio sessions (applications) in a list

Currently the toast notification form & the volume level indicator form's implementation of ShowWindow conflicts and only the last process to initialize works correctly with it.

This causes the behaviour observed in commit 912155c

Checkbox should select/deselect all hotkey entries, and should be a 3-state checkbox.

Version

5.0.x

Actual Behaviour

When updating to any 5.0.x version, user settings are not preserved from any previous installations.

Expected Behaviour

I would expect the program to correctly retain its configuration between versions that differ only by their [minor|patch] number.

Reproduction Steps

1. Have an older-than-latest version of volume control installed but not running; make sure the settings are not set to their default values for that version or the latest version.
2. Run the latest VolumeControl.exe for the first time.
3. Observe that the settings from the previous version are not preserved and have been reset to the default values of the latest version.

Version

5.2.0-rc*

Actual Behaviour

Upon launching application with "start minimized" on, A minimized version pops up in the bottom left of my screen, I can click it to show the context menu, and double clicking, fully opens the volume control process.

Expected Behaviour

program should open silently and make you think, "wait did it actually open?" prompting you to show hidden items in your taskbar and realising, yes, it is open, it was sneaky like a good little background process

Reproduction Steps

!. Turn on Start minimized
2. close application
3. open application
4. witness minimized title bar in bottom left

Log

a bunch of stuff about how a 32 bit process cannot query information from a 64 bit process

I've noticed that sometimes hotkey registrations aren't successful for no apparent reason - unfortunately I haven't been able to reliably reproduce this and haven't even managed to reproduce it with logging enabled.

Version

5.2.5

Actual Behaviour

I only have one instance of Discord Running, but the mixer tab is showing 3 PID associated with Discord. This is confusing as to which controls the volume for that app.

Expected Behaviour

Expect only one PID/Name for an application to be shown

Reproduction Steps

Launch Volume Control, Launch Discord, In Discord Voice Settings: output device is set to Default

Reproduction Steps

1. focus ETS2
2. try hotkeys (they do not work)

Version

5.2.x

Actual Behaviour

When Start Minimized is true & the main window hasn't been visible at least once, the notification window doesn't appear.

I believe this is caused by Windows' implementation of "window handles" (Commonly called HWnd).
This behaviour is described on the MSDN page for the ShowWindow function.

Expected Behaviour

The Notification window appears regardless of the state of the main window.

Reproduction Steps

1. Enable Start Minimized, select a target & ensure hotkeys are enabled
2. Restart Volume Control
3. Notification window doesn't appear when using hotkeys

@radj307

In xx.loc.json file there is a string

"LanguageName": {
"Italiano (Italian)": "Italiano"

The first value ("italiano (Italian)" now is what appear in language selection drop down menu

The second value ("Italiano") I didn't udnerstand where is uaed.

In my vision should be work in different way

The first value should be always in English (ex. "italian") and should used for internal processing.

The sceond value should be the name that appear in drop down language file selection.
For me should be "Italiano (Italian)" where appear local name language plus english translation.
The iof someone made a wrong Italin selection can see also english value and identified it.

Full Audio-Mixer Replacement

This, in essence, would mimic the Windows Audio Mixer in terms of appearance & function, with the added benefits of the current target list window's features:

• Indicate the currently selected target application
• Indicate the current process volume
• Select the target using the mouse

Feature Addition

Add a hotkey (and a toggle-switch) for locking the current target, preventing it from being switched even if one of the switch target hotkeys is pressed, or the target becomes unavailable, or any other reason.

This will require wrapping the (audio session <=> list element) data bindings with one capable of inserting a "virtual" process.

Currently the following features are missing from the WPF version that should be added before the 5.0.0 release:

• Hotkey overhaul
• Migrate to using NAudio
• System Tray Icon
• Volume Notifications
• Target Notifications
• Run on Startup
• Start Minimized
• Show in Taskbar
• Always on Top
• Polish UI
• Double-check the list of valid keys for anything that could break things

As of 72a00f1 (4.0.0-pre2), all of the main features have been fully implemented.
The only remaining task before a full release is improving on the UI.

• Add dark theme.
• Improve the layout of the main form.

Currently audio process support is limited to the default audio device; the audio API wrapper's implementation is still mostly ripped from Toastify and is in need of replacement.

The audio API should be replaced with one that has better support for audio devices.

@radj307

Using Italian language I found some issues.

Please check screenshot

Some strings are untranslated.
Move from main settings json file to language json file.

The width of "Maiusc" coulmn is too small.
Please enlarge main window width and increase space for "Maiusc" column.

Highlighting the volume slider of the currently selected session/device could be nice when using the volume mixer on a 2nd monitor.

When using Hotkeys for Device, it is confusing as to which device I am currently changing, and its current volume. It would be nice to have visuals like for Sessions

The last Volume Mixer feature that has yet to be implemented in Volume Control is peak meters:

This will be added in 5.2.3

Currently when the toast notification is enabled and the user attempts to enter a process name, the textbox's focus is lost when the toast form appears.
This is because winforms ignores the ShowWithoutActivation property when TopMost == true.

• Indication that a button has been clicked (change colour on mouse click)
• Darken colour of comboboxes
• darken colour of check boxes
• darken colour of numericupdown
• adjust sizing of mixer columns so that the volume number of not cut off when its 100
• move settings options around for better organization + adjust sizing

This is most often seen with Discord, which sometimes decides, inexplicably, to have 2 identically named audio sessions.

It causes issues in the internal management of the current 'target', which manifests in the 'Next Target' hotkey being unable to increment the current target at all.

Hey, I wonder if you would consider adding support for Xinput and/or Dinput devices to be used to control the volume?
At the moment I am using AntiMicroX to control some media related stuff with my racing wheel (to mimic radio-controls in ETS2), but I am missing a way to control the volume of the music ONLY. Right now I using a combination of volume-control and AntiMicroX to make it work, but I am sure you can see why this is a pretty janky solution in many regards.

• Turn on and off Equalizer APO filters using hotkeys as a built in addon
• automatic volume levelling

Love everything you guys have done so far. Just wanted to also suggest a drop-down menu within the Hotkeys' "Target Override" option, as this would be an exponential leap in streamlining things, making it hands-down the most accessible option out there, period.

With a drop-down menu displaying every available source right off the bat, there would also be no need to refer to the Mixer tab, and thus no concerns about typing anything incorrectly if someone feels the need to resort to that instead of copying & pasting from the Mixer tab for whatever reason. And again, it would just be soooooooooo dang fast.

If you are to consider such an implementation, it should also have a lil something to let people know it's a drop-down, instead of remaining completely blank when nothing is selected. Like text that says "-- Select --" or a small down arrow on the right side, or maybe both—something that's quick and obvious.

Thanks!

• Rewrite the entire project to eliminate code duplication & improve overall performance/memory usage.

Version

6.0.0-pr3

Actual Behaviour

This version is very broken since the last release (6.0.0-rc1), as I am incapable of controlling multiple applications/sessions simultaneously, and am only able to control ANYTHING if I have a specific session "Selected" in the Mixer tab.

Expected Behaviour

I understand that this is a "preview release", but so was rc1, and that version works as needed, so there's something missing between then and now.

Reproduction Steps

1. Open program
2. Go into "Hotkeys" tab
3. Delete any unwanted/cluttered hotkeys (the bottom 3)
4. With "Volume Up", "Volume Down", and "Toggle Mute" as remaining options, edit the "Key" to the desired key for each; from top to bottom: NumPad2, NumPad1, NumPad0. Again, for VolUp, VolDown, and Toggle Mute respectively.
5. Assign "Alt" as the only modifier for each key.
6. Check ON all 3 keys by using the left checkbox column selector
7. Click the tool icon/Target Override, and add my primary internet browser (LibreWolf) as the only application for both Volume Up and Volume Down.
8. Set Google Chrome ("chrome") as the only source for "Toggle Mute"
9. Go back into Mixer tab and attempt using hotkeys.
10. Nothing changes at all.
11. Click "Select" on either of my applications while in the Mixer tab
12. Hotkeys work but only for the selected application, since it was "selected" in this section, and not "added" in the Target Override.

Does this work with Win 7?

Thanks

Version

5.0.x

Actual Behaviour

Currently, all settings are only saved when the program shuts down normally.

This causes problems when the program is terminated, as none of the settings are preserved.

Expected Behaviour

Changing a setting immediately changes the setting, and should be preserved regardless of other user actions.

The setting values should be used directly, and saved whenever they are updated.

Reproduction Steps

1. Start the program
2. Change some of the settings or hotkeys
3. Terminate the program or restart the system
4. Start the program & observe that none of the changed settings were preserved

About Tab

I believe it could be interesting to have an "About" tab to show information about the program, like the name and current version, as well as links to the issues (support) page.

Using AudioAPI & NAudio, add event listeners for volume events triggered by external sources.

@radj307

Thanks for your software.

Could you pelase consdier to imporve source code to have multilanguage GUI?

Thanks.

Hi there,
I was thinking if it would be possible to modify what apps are visible in the app selection menu that appears; instead of showing all apps running in the background/playing audio, would it be possible to choose 1 or 2 that are visible, so that I don't need to scroll through apps that I never change the volume of?
Thanks!

(sorry if it seems like I'm spamming, I just brushed up on the rules and this seems to be the more "appropriate" place to suggest features/ideas)

Like I said on my last post on the "discussion" page, it would be an absolute power move if you were able to make it so that you can control multiple programs at the same time, instead of having to cycle through "sessions". As well as instead of being relegated to the "multi-instance" option.

Cheers

Would be nice to have ability to use scroll wheel directions in Hotkeys. IE: Alt+scroll up can be volume up, and Alt+scroll down is volume down.

Under Keys I see "Scroll" but after testing with it, I cant get it to work.

I have a macropad with two Volume Knobs on it. I want to use those knobs to control:

• discord
• the game I am currently playing
• (I use my keyboard's volume controls for global volume)

Volume Control seems really cut out to help me in this, but I can't seem to set it up as it depends on sessions to control volume. The way I am imagining things is that I set up Volume Control like this:

• create two shortcuts for the session (vol+, vol-) (discord)
• create two shortcuts for the current application (my current game)

I figure there are multiple ways to resolve this (per application shortcuts for example), but I guess this is sufficient for me.

Volume2 (https://github.com/irzyxa/Volume2) supports 'active application'. So far I have only been able to get what I want by running both programs. Not quite a permanent solution, I guess.

I'd wish I could contribute, but I have zero experience in c#.

Version

5.2.2

Actual Behaviour

Changing the "volume step" size does nothing, it keeps using the initially loaded value stored in "VolumeControl.json" and also doesn't store the changes in the json-file.

Expected Behaviour

the changes get applied and stored in the json-file.

Reproduction Steps

• change the volume step size
• change the volume (won't use set step-size)
• close app & start app again (value is back to the previous one)
