Title: foo_uie_volume
Post by: kode54 on 2004-10-14 22:04:53
It's right here (http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/kode54/foo_uie_volume.zip). Requires Columns UI v0.1.2 beta 4 or newer (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=28647).

Note that this component is a completely independent implementation which I assembled today. Enjoy.

Thats great, im sure alot of people will use it.

It would be even nicer with the possibility to use keyboard shortcuts.

Perhaps you should do two additional things:

1: Make an own thread for this component so everyone can find it easily

2: Add a warning in big red blinking letters to the configpage which says "Adjusting the internal volume can cause lag!" or something to stop people from complaining about.

3: Add an option to choose between linear and exponential volume control so "half as loud" (i.e. -6dB) is at the halfway point of the slider, not just 1/16 of the slider lenght away from the right; getting the volume "just right" would be much easier that way...

Just checking - are you actually *using* the Columns UI? (Preferences/Display/User interface module) The volume control toolbar won't work with FooBar2000s normal UI.

If so, you can activate it in the toolbar context menu, it's under "Toolbars"...

Is it possible to use a progressbar (or something similar, like foo_dirvol) instead of the trackbar? Or there are some columns_ui extension's SDK restrictions?

Kode, I've just managed to "break" my DMX 6fire using your component. All I could hear was loud noise and had to restart the device 

Perhaps this is just because of buggy drivers, but make sure that you initialize mixer interface just once and reuse it, instead of initializing/deinitializing it every time you want to change the volume...

(I'm just guessing, of course, but that was the reason for this wierd soundcard behaviour when I was writing my foo_mixer plugin.)

[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a] (http://index.php?act=findpost&pid=247937")

A progress bar control does not ordinarily imply that it is clickable or draggable in the way that a trackbar does. (Besides, I always thought that looked silly. I may make this configurable in the future, but it will be a completely different control, as would the case for a vertical slider panel.)

The mixer device is opened from the moment you configure it until the moment you switch to another mixer device, or close the player. The only thing which does not open/close it is the configuration dialog, which enumerates properties by device ID. Would you mind seeing how [a href="http://www.codeproject.com/audio/admixer.asp]this example software[/url] behaves on your sound card?

The function which opens the configured mixer resets the selected device to internal if it fails to open the mixer. Perhaps I should switch to a simpler model which does not open the mixer, as is the case with one of my references. I could make it configurable, because if I don't open the mixer, you lose the "nifty" volume sliders tracking to match changes made to mixer elsewhere.

And set it from some action (for example: 'Components/Volume toolbar wave up'). I wont to direct all mixer values in the same time and diplay it.  But i thing one value is enouth for me. Sometimes i only need to change master volume and this i can make very handly for now with your plugin. But maybe you take this into consideration in future versions

I can expose my internal mixer through an extra service, and I can also design a callback service for receiving volume change notifications when my component is installed.

I could make my existing control operate based on the value of the core volume level, but then it would conflict with the Volume DSP if both are activated at the same time.

I will have to implement that as a separate panel. I will adapt the current trackbar subclassing system to a vertical orientation, for my next non-bugfix release, which should be soonish.

Now I can stop using that banned component. I have my poweramp directly connected to the soundcard and need the foobar dithering (windows volume control creates icky artefacts at low volumes). Controlling the pc via a touchscreen, the slider saves the day.

Well, if you're using digital output, then the system volume controls would have to be implemented digitally as well. For best results, that step needs to be applied before sample conversion and dithering. Which is what you're already doing now by using the internal volume DSP.

Slightly off-topic, my card doesn't allow master volume control when operating in digital output mode, but does allow waveout / software MIDI synthesizer / etc control, which are presumably in software. I can see it would have the same impact on dithering, and possibly also on the dynamic range of the output if the signal is scaled digitally and you need to use low volume levels.

Maybe it's best to keep the amplifier at the desired regular volume level and the sound output at maximum. Or something.

Thanks Kode54, it's a great ColumnUI-extension.

Since ColumnsUI-alpha5 the device-settings are not saved (at least here).
Running foobar 0.8.3, ColumnsUI-alpha5 and latest foo_uie_volume (with older uie_volume it's the same) - with alpha4 everything was fine.
I don't know if musicmusic, you or - alike obvious - me has to change something.

Exactly my reasoning.

I am using analog out with a USB box, but I think the 'master' volume is controlled digitally, since output noise, bandwidth etc remain unchanged when changing volume. The codec IC has a S/PDIF output (which is not 'officially' on the box, only internal and haven't tested it yet), which points in the same direction. I'll have to do some tinkering with it to be absolutely sure though.

On my laptop on the other hand, I'm quite sure it's done in the analog domain, since changing master volume changes noise considerably. Hence, there I've disabled fb2k's volume control and am using the system master control.

Yup. Which is what I do on my workstation (connected to an old Sansui). Still prefer fb2k volume control over windows' though.

My amp in the living room, connected to the media box has no such controls.
On the other hand, with proper dithering the soundcard output noise dwarves the amplifier's noise in measurement. In listening both are inaudible, even with 98 dB sensitive speakers. The soundcard also does a 20 dB better THD+N than the amp. As such, the situation doesn't bother me in the least. In fact, I rather like the 'direct' route.

Sorry for the threadjack. My morale: use system controls when they influence noise out (and when audible), use fb2k instead wherever possible.

(but remember to turn off system sounds in that case!)

Have you checked if settings persist within the same session?

1) Select mixer and control.
2) Close Preferences.
3) Reopen Preferences.

To all who currently have a problem with the configuration not working, unload all other resident mixer configuration utilities one by one until the problem goes away. It seems rather stupid that a driver set has a limit on how many applications can have the mixer open at the same time.

I think the plugin needs updated to work with the new version of the column UI.  I just noticed it's missing here too and thats the only thing thats changed.
Title: foo_uie_volume
Post by: popatr on 2004-12-01 04:34:28
Actually though, the volume bar disappeard under an older configuration.. older versions of both colums ui and volume.  The combination worked for a while.

The volume panel disappeared before I changed anything about the foobar configuration.  I updated to ui0.1.2b4 and volume1.3.2 to see if it would fix the problem.  (It didn't)  So I don't think it's merely an update required issue, since the old working configuration stopped working randomly before any changes happened.

Not to belittle kode54 or his plugin, (I'm really grateful to foobar developers), but I've discovered that I never used the volume control except during my first test drive.  I got so used to just pushing +/- keys that the thing simply slipped from my mind, and it took me a long time to notice that it was gone.

But I like that the volume slider helps make foobar more "accesible" to some people.

I noticed after installing foo_uie_volume today I noticed that the middle wheel scrolling in the volume tab affects the scrolling in my foo_playlist_tree extension when using the panel stack extension.  I tested on albumlist too, and scrolling on that breaks too...

Is this a problem with the panel stack plugin or could it be something in foo_uie_volume?

Thanks for plugin, its very useful...

Hello everyone,

I don't know why or what it is I'm doing wrong, but I can't get this volume slider to appear.

I'm definitely using columns UI, as set in the display section of the preferences of Foobar. The problem is, I can't seem to enable the volume control. If I right-click anywhere in the foorbar window, I get a menu, but at no point does the menu include "Toolbars...".

If I call the menu in the tabs above the songs where I can sort by artist or title or whatever, I get to choose what tabs are visible, and I can go to the columsUI preferences. If I right-click in the sidebar, I get a whole bunch of playlist options like masstagging, replaygain etc. If I click in any of the moveable toolbars like song progress or the play controls, I get to choose which of those are visible ( Menu, vis, seek, playback order, playback buttons) or lock the taskbar. If I click in the bar at the bottom of the window I get the same menu as the playlist sidebar.

What am I doing wrong? I really want a volume slider, or I may be forced to go back to Winamp

Your version of columns_ui is too old.

Phew! Well, my bad, sorry. After downloading the latest RC and 7-zip and recalling why it is we have GUIs these days, I finally have my volume slider. Nice!

Thanks all!

Post by: grindlestone on 2004-12-21 09:33:16
I think this is great. I was always OK without the volume control, but secretly I'd always hankered after one.

One issue here though, the "knob" on the slider is different between the volume control and the pointy one on the seekbar.

Here's a pic (http://www.uq.edu.au/~zziwilki/fb2k.png)

Is there a reason for this? From a gui perspective they should probably be the same. I definitely prefer the square overthe pointy one. Looks more standard. Is there a way i can fix this on my setup.

Why should they be the same? So that they are completely indistinguishable by looks?
Title: foo_uie_volume
Post by: jkwarras on 2004-12-21 09:49:10
I guess it's a matter of taste  The current volume slide looks almost like the seekbar, so making it look identical will cause more trouble than good in my opinion. At least this little difference makes them different and you can (hardly) identify them.

If someday more customizable volume slide could happen, I'll prefer the choice between:

- Vertical volume slide.
- 'ala' Media Player Classic horizontal volume slide.
Title: foo_uie_volume
Post by: grindlestone on 2004-12-21 10:07:14
Perhaps you're right jkwarras, it's surely about taste. But I'd like them the same anyway. I just don't like the little pointy one.

The n again, I was always one to focus on (supposed) imperfections.

First of all, thanks for this plugin.  Not have an quick way to adjust the volume using the mouse was annoying and I'm glad this plugin exists now to fill that hole

Is there any way to adjust how much the volume bar changes when using the mouse wheel?  Right now it looks like it raises/lowers by 10% at a time.  I'd like to be able to change that to a lower value like 5%.

Can't get volume toolbar to show.

Is installed, shows up in prefs as component, am using columns UI, but when right click on toolbars there is no volume control toolbar to enable.

Grateful for assistance.

Hello, I had this problem and it was due to using an out-of-date version of columnsUI - try getting the latest version. I think the link is in the first post in this thread.

UNder column UI (if you don't have it, download this component) preferences make sure to check 'list all toolbar'. See if that helps.

kode54, do you have any plans in implementing something like this? 
Title: foo_uie_volume
Post by: ovvo on 2005-02-08 03:26:26

It's right here (http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/kode54/foo_uie_volume.zip). Requires Columns UI v0.1.2 beta 4 or newer (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=28647).

Note that this component is a completely independent implementation which I assembled today. Enjoy.


Change log:
[dl][dt]1.4:[/dt][dd]
  • Updated to UI Extension API v5.0.0.
  • Removed scrollwheel hook
[/dd][dt]1.32:[/dt][dd]
  • Fixed a lame bug in the configuration dialog. Configured mixer device ID is zero for internal and 1-n, for hardware, where n is the number of hardware mixers in the system. Whoops, it was checking this range improperly, so if device == n, it reset to zero. Kind of made it guaranteed to reset if you only have one hardware mixer.
[/dd][dt]1.31:[/dt][dd]
  • Added error logging, the console should always pop up on most serious errors.
[/dd][dt]1.3:[/dt][dd]
  • Volume control catches scrollwheel messages, hopefully most of the time.
[/dd][dt]1.21:[/dt][dd]
  • Fixed a bug in the trackbar WM_MOUSEMOVE override which only happened to manifest when using the internal volume in combination with foo_osd's volume change pop-up.
[/dd][dt]1.2:[/dt][dd]
  • Internal volume is now controlled on a logarithmic scale.
  • Added annoying warning to preferences for internal mixer.
[/dd][dt]1.1:[/dt][dd]
  • Added hotkeys for volume up/down/mute, for whichever mixer you have the component configured to use. Rather redundant for internal volume, mostly useful for external mixers.
[/dd][dt]1.0:[/dt][dd]
  • Initial release.

Title: foo_uie_volume
Post by: m4rcus on 2005-03-13 21:17:58
I would love to get this thing working but I keep having this problem...

Using:
foobar 0.8.3
uie_volume, latest.
ui_columns, 0.1.2 stable, newest one.
sound card: m-audio delta audiophile 2496 (asio), latest driver.

Two issues I'm having. First, when I try to choose my soundcard in "Control Which Device" box, I get the following errors in my console:

INFO (foo_uie_volume) : mixerGetLineControls failed - WARNING (foo_uie_volume) : mixerGetControlDetails failed in GetVolume -
INFO (foo_uie_volume) : mixerGetLineControls failed - WARNING (foo_uie_volume) : mixerGetControlDetails failed in GetVolume -
INFO (foo_uie_volume) : mixerGetLineControls failed - WARNING (foo_uie_volume) : mixerGetControlDetails failed in GetVolume -

Second issue is the volume slider is not an option on any of my toolbars (yes I already chose show all toolbars). I suspect this problem is related to the first problem above.

Anyone else had this type of problem? And specifically what soundcards are you all using?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for a great plugin BTW.

kode54,

This is a fantastic plugin. Thanks loads.

Would you be able to do a v0.9 compatible build? The lack of a volume slider is pretty much the only reason now why I don't use 0.9 all the time - I just can't live without it

Also, I was wondering if you might release the source code?

Here is a bug:

Start with the volume slider all the way up. the tooltip popup reports "0.00dB". now slowly start to slide it to the left. As you decrease the volume, it says "0.27dB" "0.55dB" "0.85dB", despite the fact that it should be getting smaller (below zero).

You can use AutoHotKey (google it) for that. This is a work around as it doesn't use foobar but AutoHotKey can do many thing beside this.

Hint: look at the help file there's a script for changing volumn.
