Fixed Audio Output Level?

[mrwolf]

I'm currently using a regular 3.5mm stereo output to RCA's to my surround receiver. Is there a way to set the system or SageMC output to 100% fixed so it does not adjust with the volume control? I am using a Gyration remote and EventGhost to control the volume on my receiver. The volum on the system is not proportionate, so it gets all out of whack. I cannot find a way to disable this at all. I finally have everything else working the way I want it and this is the last configuration on my clients I'm struggling with.

Like everything else always seems, there are so many threads and so much information, I have spent hours looking for what I need to know and can't find it. Yet, I figure someone will post a link to another thread, FAQ, or manual. I'm tired of searching, so I asked anyway. Please help.

You should be able to just unlink the buttons from the vol up and vol down commands.

One would think...I don't see where that is set by default in EventGhost.

I think he is saying unlink those in Sage and let Eventghost control the master vol up-down.

That's what I meant, but I missed the part about Eventghost. Still I think gplasky has it right. For mine, I don't have the audio controlled on the computer at all. I use the volume controls for an external receiver.

Well, my Gyration remote flaked out so I'm back to using my Firefly remote. But I still have the same problem. In SageMC the Vol Up/Down commands are not linked to anything except the message events. The Firefly (like the Gyration) is controlling my PC's audio volume. I can open the sound systray app and watch it go up and down. I must be really missing something simple here.

I have been trying to use LM Remote Keymap but I am having a lot of issues getting it to work with the USBUIRT (on two different PCs). It seems to freeze up the UIRT and does not want to learn Ir codes. I know it's not the device because EventGhost learns the codes very easily. I would prefer to use LM Remote Keymap because of the proprietary features in the Firefly software, but it simply does not want to work for me.

Making more progress with LM Remote Keymap. I guess exiting EventGhost isn't enough. I removed it from my startup and restarted the machine to get a fresh boot with LMRK and it appears to be working better now. Hopefully this will work out.
