Volume Not Starting at Set Value

Open McCoyCOREUSA opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Summary

When I start something, like Zoom, the volume always starts at 100%. The ET volume shows 35% (where I set it last), but any time I restart software or reboot the computer, the volume setting in ET doesn't apply until I manually move the slider again. Very frustrating.

Steps to reproduce

n/a

EarTrumpet version

2.3.0.0

Windows version

10.0.19045.3758

Additional information

Agree. Windows is supposed to remember per-app audio levels but this hasn't worked properly in years and the audio team at Microsoft has become unresponsive to my reports.

One workaround is to use the developer builds of EarTrumpet and use EarTrumpet Actions to set the app audio levels when the app starts.

It doesn't work even when switching Zoom rooms. I go into a breakout room, or go back to the main Zoom room, and the volume goes back to 100%. Kind of makes this app useless... and I paid for it.

EarTrumpet is free and open source, so not sure what you mean by "paid for it".

Maybe you can set up the audio levels in Zoom directly?

My mistake. I thought I just purchased the upgrade. That was another software. Sorry.
