Disable volume/mute

badbob · 2008-04-03, 20:15

Is it possible to disable mute and volume in Media Portal? I couple of times I've selected the volume buttons and wonder why there's no audio. I use volume and mute on the av pre-amp so have no need of the HTPC volume/mute controls.

just remove the button actions from your input device

depending on your hardware you can also re-map the volume and mute remote control buttons to use the signals for your Amp, so the remote controls these functions. that's if you are using a remote. If you are using a keyboard then just do what RTV says (which is usually the best idea anyway ).

cheers,
Marcus.

Learning remote is mapped to my av pre-amp (MCE remote is not used) however I'm pretty sure there are mute and volume icons on a few places in Media Portal, so it'll be good if those can be removed.

you could edit the skin files to remove buttons, probably not very hard as you would efectivly be breaking that functionality but I am not experienced in skin changing myself
