Win 7
XBMC version 11.0 (eden)
The volume control up-down works fine but there is NO visual display thay the volume is going up oe down. I have tried various skins but no display.
Is this normal.
Is it possible to get a volume up and down display?
Thanks very much. XBMC really works for me.

If I understand correctly - and in the default Confluence (the volume bar, top right)

It sounds as if you're adjusting the system volume not the XBMC volume. If you're using Windows and you're remote sends volume APPCOMMAND messages then the remote will change the Windows volume not the XBMC volume. Try pressing + or - on the keyboard and see if the volume control appears.

Work perfectly. Now I have volume display. Thank you very much.
Created the file in my user directory and XBMC adjusted immediately. Nice.
Noted that the XBMC volume is controlled by whatever the system volume is set to. If you have set a low system volume before starting XBMC then that becomes the maximum volume XBMC can use. If you have muted your system volume XMBC is also mute.
Which leads me to ask.
Is it possible to have XBMC control the system volume AND display that as the volume control.

I suspect that it would be a bad thing if they did. All sorts of notification windows and such would then be able to interrupt XBMC and/or steal the window focus.
