REQ: Independent volume per application for XP

<< < (4/4)

Mizraim:
I gotta say, when I first tried Vista and opened the Volume control I was ecstatic!  8) The ability to set volume on each individual application is great! While I no-longer use XP, I was also wondering if something like this existed for it. But I haven't been able to find anything else beyond that which has already been mentioned, and not to the degree of Vista's version. But that made me think, if it's been coded into Vista, couldn't there be a way to find that code, and make an app for XP?

No, but it does let you configure different sound profiles (10 I believe) and switch between them with a hotkey combination.

OK, I had a look at The Windows Vista Volume Mixer screenshot... I see what you are after...  :-\

The architecture of the audio driver stack in Windows was completely revamped for Vista. One of the design targets of the new architecture was to support this type of control among applications (and classes of applications).  That's not to say it can't be done in XP, just that it's not as good a fit for how the drivers work, so it's not necessarily easy.

Mizraim:
That makes sense. I appreciate the explanation. Sorry I don't know much about coding; to me something that has been coded for the Windows OS should work for all Windows OS's, but that just shows how much I don't know.  :D
