[QUOTE="Marienkind, post: 1182434, member: 122536"] I've been using MediaPortal 1.11.0 for a while and had no problems on Windows 7. When I recently upgraded to Windows 8 though it started acting funny. The 'back' button on the Microsoft Media Center remote is used to go up/back a menu. It still does that but now for some reason it also lowers the volume too every time it's pressed. I've tried a lot of things to fix this. 1. Remapping the Back button to Escape, and ended up with button that acts like it was pressed several times. Going all the way back to the main menu, if not 2-4 folders at once, when I just want to go up by one. 2. Set MediaPortal to Windows XP compatibility mode. (W7 and Vista made no difference) This fixed the problem by disabling volume control all together but video playback suffers frame rate issues. 3. Setting volume control to Master Volume makes no difference. Back will still lower my main volume when in MediaPortal. In menus or when something is playing. Even when I have it set to Wave, MediaPortal's volume is somehow still tethered to the master volume. For what it's worth I have the Channel Up/Down buttons set to control the volume when a video is playing but not when navigating menus. If this is somehow the cause it never happened in Windows 7. =/ [/QUOTE]
