LupinSansei Wrote:Hey there elitegame360. This works perfectly for me! However I'm having some volume issues. I noticed that when I install this my remote stops controlling my master volume and only controls the volume in XBMC. Is there any way to remape the volume buttons to control both XBMC and the master volume in Windows? Or just control the master volume? I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense.

elitegamer360 Wrote:Yes my setup use XBMC volume control instead of Windows. But if you do not want that you can do as follows:

To make the volume buttons control the volume in Windows instead of XBMC:-

I- Hit Windows logo + R on your Keyboard to start the RUN command window.

II- copy this %AppData%\Xbmccustomregis\ and paste it in the Run window "Open field" and press OK.

III- You will find "Config.v1.25.reg" file, right click on it and select Edit.

IV- In note pad you will see:

Code:

10,00,00,00,04,00,43,\ ; [Vol up]            - Sends "F10"
  11,00,00,00,04,00,42,\ ; [Vol down]          - Sends "F9"

Now Change the above script to

Code:

10,00,00,00,01,E9,00,\ ; [Vol up]            - SENDS "VOL UP" WM_APPCOMMAND
  11,00,00,00,01,EA,00,\ ; [Vol down]          - SENDS "VOL DWN" WM_APPCOMMAND

V- Now save the file and exit note pad. Double click on it the "Config.v1.25.reg" file to apply the new settings and when prompted "Settings installed successfully etc etc etc.." click OK.

VI- Restart your PC and you should be able to control windows volume instead of XBMC :-)

You can not control both Volumes in XBMC or Windows at the same time. You can only control one at a time. If you ever want to revert to XBMC volume control, then just run XBMCCustomregis setup again. Well there is a soultion to Controlling both Voulmes but as I said not at the same time. I have written an Autohotkey script somewhere in this thread to do just that. If you want I can give it to you. Basicly when you start XBMC the volume buttons will control the volume in XBMC and when you Exit XBMC your voulme buttons will automatically revert to Controling the volume in Windows. But keep in mind if your XBMC window loses focus the remote will control the Volume in Windows and not XBMC.

Let me know if interested I can tell you where to put the script.

LupinSansei Wrote:Wow thanks for the detailed reply! That worked perfectly! The AHK script I may pass on that since you said it'll loose focus sometimes.

Oh by the way I may have a solution for controlling the volume inside of XBMC at least for me. Since I rarely use my control up and down buttons. Could I map those to F10 and F9? I did try that in the reg file applied it rebooted but that didn't seem to work. I figured this would work great for me. Thanks again!
