On screen volume control please(always shows)

[borgqueenx]

Searching for a piece of software that can have me see the volume i raise up and down.
Important thing is i also want it working in games. I didnt found any that worked in full screen games.

Why can`t you just use windows volume control ?

Why add more garbage to the system ?

My speakers have their own volume controls.

search for keyboard shortcut software , they can help u on that.
but as AddRAM said they are all rubbish.

my speakers ofcource has build in volume controls but not easily accessable so i do it through the function keys of my keyboard. but i want to see a bar on screen how much i am changing it.

i do not seek for software to chance the volume, but software to SEE it increase or decrease on screen, while in a full screen application.

Why ?

generally because games override the windowing environment, which is where the volume change notification appears.

The only way for that to work is if the game provided it's own volume bar. Otherwise you run the risk of crashing the game.

Of course, you could get one of those front panel displays for your computer...

Try listening to the volume, that will tell you if it is too loud or not loud enough!

Hmm surely there must be some kind of overlay software that can manage to do this?

I don't think so. When a game is fullscreened, it basically tells the os that it wants full control over displayed elements. It would require a very elaborate hack to put something between the game and the display. A hack that would most likely crash the game or be detected as a cheat.

Like I said, you may be better off buying a front panel display.

But you are probably the only user who has ever come up with this idea and as there has (probably) never been a need in the past nobody has bothered to waste time trying to write suitable software that only one person is likely to use. Just my very random thoughts of course. My advice is forget it and get a pair of decent headphones!

In this article it looks like 3RVX should be able to do what you want.

If you intend to use it when watching movies or playing games full screen, make sure you disable the setting ‘Hide when other programs are fullscreen’ under the Display tab of the program’s settings.
