Help needed regarding volume control.

[thaface]

Hi there,

Is it possible to assign a volume control menu to a button then have say up and down on the joystick to change it up or down, i have looked through xpadder and i can only see options to add a volume up to 1 button and volume down to another, is it even possible to do and how? Also if possible is this something that can be set to function throughout all i.e frontend, menus, actual emulators too.

im learning more about hyperspin everyday and your input would be highly appreciated,

Help this noob level up lol

Yep. That's exactly how I have my cab set up.

-When I turn it on it auto sets the volume to 8% so it never comes on to loud.

-If I hold down my 1P button (set as my iPac shift button) I can then tap up or down on the P2 joystick to raise and lower volume.

-If it sits idle for 3 minutes then it auto-dims the sound to mute.

-If a control is touched then it auto-raise the sound back up to 8%.

I'll post the app for you in a sec.

Here it is. Download section here:

There are a couple others, but from my testing of them this one seemed to work best. I put a shortcut to it in my Startup folder.

metalzoic, could you post your ini so I can get an idea how this works? Will this work with hyperspin startup script key mapping or do I need to map at the windows OS level... didnt really want use keymapper for hyperspin navigation.. if that makes any sense. You mention you mapped 1p button and 2play stick to adjust... Im not using ipac so i cant map that way..

You can map the vol up/down keys to be anything you want depending on your setup. Not sure what you mean about HS Startup script keymapping.

I'll post my ini for you tomorrow.

Powermate control knob and then a nice gui volume bar that goes over the screen to show your volume level was my solution. I love it. Volume gui / overlay doesn't work with newer 3d games due to directx but hyperspin and some of the older games it works great.

Here's my ini for volume control

[General Settings]
Time_To_Idle=230

Set_Volume_at_Startup=8
Set_Volume_at_Idle_to_Percent=False

ManualVolumeUp={PgUp}

ManualVolumeAutoSave=False
ManualVolumeAutoAdd=False
VolumeMixerName=Volume Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)

And here's the simple AHK script I wrote to delay the launching of Hyperspin and the volume control app.

I do this because if Steam needs to update it can steal focus from HS. This delay prevents that from happening and gives the volume program time to set before HS launches.

The reason it send the spacebar input is because for some reason the volume app won't begin running until it receives some sort of keyboard input. Starnge, but this makes it work.

I run this script in my Startup folder.

 

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.


sleep, 15000
send, {space}

sleep, 20000
run, h:\HyperSpin\HyperSpin.exe, h:\HyperSpin
