This is a correct for Windows 7, but there are some trouble. The volume of MediaPortal cannot be higher than &quot;System Volume&quot;.

This is very noticable at low volume settings. But if I try decrease step (as example set Custom string = '0,512,1024, 1536,2048,2560....') then I can only decrease volume, not increase. Work only if step &gt;= 1024.4) Can MediaPortal use some sort of plugin to control volume on amplifier (as example by com-port or IR) ? I think this is possible using HIP (may be other program), but in this case I loose volume OSD.</blockquote>
