[QUOTE="Bob1nz, post: 733786, member: 89206"] ok well I got impatient and have found a workaround. basically i wanted more control over my volume so what i did was turned off the default volume osd in media portal config removed the mapping for the volume up, volume down and mute buttons in the Remote control section of media portal config set media portal to full volume in the windows 7 mixer now when i use the volume buttons on the remote its controlling the master volume so it gives me 0 - 100 for volume but i wanted the volume osd too so i googled a bit and found this [url=http://www.autohotkey.net/~RedShadow/VolumeOSD/]RedShadow's VolumeOSD[/url] I went through and had a muck around with the script he had made (he has given permission to do this) as by default the osd is center screen and i wanted it top right. in the script you can set the volume step percentage (i set it to 2% which gives me 50 clicks from 0 to full volume) and other various options and it also allows you to edit the skin and a few other effects. as this was for a dedicated machine I just set it to run at startup. the end result is me being able to have more control over my htpc's volume with a nice looking osd right throughout mediaportal. just thought id share what iv done incase anyone else was looking for a similar solution. if anyone wants help with this let me know and il try my best :) [/QUOTE]
