I completely reinstalled Winamp with the latest version now. Not even when deleting all my preferences when uninstalling When I decided to wait a bit and after moments of complete silence decided to try again, it was still too silent. I was getting worried there I might be going deaf.
But then I noticed the sound elsewhere in Windows is still normal. Games have normal volume. I even tried playing the exact same songs in Windows Media Player and the volume is normal, the same as it always used to be in Winamp up until now.
But when I try to play them in Winamp, the volume is only half as loud or something. Very weird and annoying, since I want to keep using Winamp instead of other media players which play the music at a normal volume.
I've googled this but can only find the fix for Vista and I'm using Windows 7 64bit. I searched for this problem on the forum and there was one post about it from 11 years ago which got no replies. Is there something I'm missing here or is the advice going to be to re-install again? With Winamp open - look in your notification area for the speaker icon, check the hidden icons if you don't see it.
Left click to show the volume bar. Click on the word 'Mixer' and adjust the Winamp volume section. Oops, I'd not noticed that before as I usually go via the control panel or mobility center to get to the sound settings. Thanks very much for the help ujay. If you go into the detailed Volume Control app, you'll see separate sliders for different volume sources. When you're playing MP3s, the volume control bar on Winamp is by default tied to the "Wave" volume that you see in the Volume Control app.
Windows' internal sounds are Wave sounds, so they use this volume control as well -- meaning that jacked-up Wave volume will lead to jacked-up Winamp and jacked-up system sounds, as you're experiencing. You can change this, however. Open up Winamp Preferences, then under "Plug-ins" select "Output". Double-click on the "Nullsoft waveOut plug-in". There should be a checkbox for "Alt setting mode" down in the lower center of the configuration dialog.
Check that box and Winamp's volume control will de-couple from the Wave volume so you can set it independently. I think it's a better idea to simply edit the 5 or 6 WAV files that Windows plays, since most programs don't have their own volumes like Winamp.
Even Sound Recorder will do the trick. Why'd you cut him down nebia? Thanks for this question, I was wondering about that. It always bugged me that winamps volume was tied to wav. I was always wondering about that. I edited the annoyingly loud default ICQ wave files using this method. I got off my butt one day and disabled it from inside ICQ.
Now I use Trillian so it doesn't matter. There is a slight drawback to using the waveOut plug-in. If you are playing sound files works fine for CDs under WinAMP and try to load a program such as WMP, it will tell you that the sound cannot play because the device is in use actually it gives a big fat error. I believe this works both ways. I currently am using DirectSound to get over this but DirectSound lowers the sound quality when another app is using it at the same time so the app with higher prioty is clearer.
Well this is interesting Don't know what you mean by that. My Windows volume mixer displays the system master volume at all times. I didn't know you could set a 'Winamp' volume in the mixer?
