I have installed windvd 8 trial on my vista computer. Everything works except the volume control. Sliding the volume control on the windvd interface does not change the volume. Under settings i changed the auxilary control switch and now i can press the mute button on the interface and it will mute but no volume control.
Does anyone else have this problem. Is it a bug with windvd, a vista setting, or hardware. It is an intel G965 based board and I am usint on board sound sigmatel driver.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Microsoft has changed the volume setting method in Vista.
In WinXP or earlier if you change the volume setting in an application, it will change the system volume of Windows; in Vista if you change the volume setting in an application, it will only change the volume of the application, not the system volume of Windows.
For example, if you change the volume in an application to 50% on WinXP, the system volume will be changed to 50%, but in Vista it will be:
System volume (let's assume it's already 80%) * application volume level (50%) = 40%.
So you might think the volume is not changed because from what you hear it does not change a lot.
I guess it's not a bug of WinDVD.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply but I did put the system volume up all the way and the volume control slider on the windvd interface still does nothing.
Clearly from all the posts there are mnay bugs but I have yet to hear this one from anyone. I was thinking it may have something to do with the sigmatel audio driver for intels motherboard G965 chipset but the upgrade did not help.

Same problem
I have the same problem, with my Vista laptop, it's a Sony Vaio, except mine won't even mute, even when I disable the auxilary audio. This is really annoying!!!
