Set Volume button with Audiophile 2496

[deadpoirotsketch]

This is a problem I have confirmed is still present in the 3.2beta. It is not difficult to work around and it is probably not Wave Corrector's "fault" but is due to the non-standard operation of the M-Audio Control Panel. I have used other software which has had similar problems.

I'm using XP and SP1 with 2496 driver 5.10.00.0029 and control panel version 1.03.16-2.1.04 downloaded from the M-Audio site.

In Wave Corrector's record dialog the Set Volume button has no effect.
There is no error message or negative effect.

I am able to adjust levels using either the H/W In 1/2 or the Master Volume sliders in the M-Audio Control panel and these are immediately reflected in the Wave Corrector "LEDs". So it isn't a big problem to get around, except perhaps if you are new to using audio on PCs.

My guess is that Wave Corrector tries to call up the Windows mixer when the Set Volume button is clicked, but as the Audiophile works outside of the Windows Mixer environment the call fails. Maybe this could be fixed by making it possible to edit which executable is called by the Set Volume button.

Personally I have always monitored and adjusted levels by manually invoking the M-audio control panel anyway, and if no-one else has commented then I expect everyone else has found it easy to work around.

You can change the behaviour of the Set Volume button using the Devices... command on the File menu. This enables you choose a different executable.

As you say, by default, the Windows mixer applet is called up. But because the Audiophile does not support this, the button does nothing.

However, although you can pick a different executable, I haven't discovered which one to pick to launch the M_Audio Control Panel. If you do discover this, perhaps you could post it here.
