Set Volume button won't open

[alankendall]

It's been a while since I used wave corrector. I am trying to change the input used, but I find that when I click on the Set Volume button, nothing happens. There is a brief hourglass, but the new window expected does not open. I am using Professional Version 3.7 (R001) and I ran an update on it.

Any suggestions?

I don't know why this is happening but if you use the 'Devices...' command on the File menu, this will show the command that the program is using to launch the volume control. It's shown near the bottom of the Devices window under the label 'Record Volume Control'. The actual command varies depending on your operating system.

Can you tell me your operating system (xp, 7 ,8, etc), and I can tell you what command you should be seeing.

Thanks for your prompt response.

The command used is sndvol32.exe /r

My operating system is XP home.

The command used is sndvol32.exe /r

That's the correct command for an XP computer so it's difficult to know what might be wrong.

It may be that there's a problem with your XP installation. Or it may be that you've installed a soundcard that overrides the XP defaults.

If you go into the Windows Control Panel, you should be able to get to the volume controls by selecting, 'Sounds Speech and Audio Devices' and then selecting, 'Adjust the System Volume'. Then select the 'Audio' tab and click the 'Volume' button under 'Sound Recording'.

If this works, try selecting the 'Run...' option on the Windows Start Menu and then entering the command:

sndvol32.exe /r

This should also launch the recording volume controls.

These tests should help to isolate where the problem lies.

Thanks for your advise, Derek. I actually ran the sndvol32.exe once manually without the /r command and now everything seems to work fine. Go figure.

Great! Good luck with your restorations.
