Taskbar Skins Layout

[sl23]

Watched that video you linked to. I don't get what the point was. He just said EVERY TIME you use the Mic to go into windows sound settings and set it there! How's that a fix!!!

I think the only thing to do is to set the volume from the skin on Refresh. That way it'll auto adjust the sound to s set volume

I don't get what the point was. [...] How's that a fix!!!

It's not a solution, but rather a confirmation.

[sl23]

Oh I forgot that bit! I read it yesterday and only just checked out the video today! lol

The bit about the fix wasn't directed at you but the guy who made the video!

The Title is "Why your microphone changes volume by itself and how to fix it" but there's no fix!

Yeah, I agree, it's a bit of a clickbait - I only mentioned it because it shows that the issue happens for other people / mics. You could try testing the mic / our skins on another computer, or with another mic / cable / system if you can borrow one.

[sl23]

Yeah, it's good to know it's not just me!

I'll give them a try on my laptop and see if that is the same.

A little update on this issue...

I finally got round to checking the skin out on my laptop, not an easy task as it's a pain for anything audio related! Nahimics stupid software can't be permanently removed and just causes issues constantly!

Anyway, I had to rejig certain bits, but it worked ok once I did that. So, again, for me, it works. I think it must be a windows 10 issue maybe?

So, again, for me, it works. I think it must be a windows 10 issue maybe?

Didn't I already answer that in my 1st sentence here?

But ok, I decided to investigate this one last time (although it's not my skin to do that), and here are the results:
- left, my test skin working
- right and in the log, your Taskbar Suite (Launcher 5.ini) not getting anything in mRunMicVol and displaying 0 in the corresponding meter at load / refresh time

Test Skin vs Taskbar Suite.jpg

The starting codes are similar (including the skins' update values!), only the values of the Mic and MicID variables are changed to mine, as you can see:
- my test skin

Heck, I even replaced SoundVolumeView.exe and svcl.exe with my older versions used by the test skin, to see if that is the culprit. As expected, no change, same results. Like you can notice, I didn't even use !Delay bangs in the test skin's OnRefreshAction, to find out if that mattered. So, again, it's not my Win 10...

Apologies, I have stated I have a poor memory.

I wasn't expecting you to delve into it again, I was just confirming my end seems OK on two machines.

Yeah, I know, it's ok, but you too know that I try my best to not do stuff more than once, and when I do I go to the bottom of it and cover all angles precisely so I don't have to do it again, it's my idea of efficiency.

Anyway, now at least we know what is not the culprit. Still a progress, I'd say.

I appreciate your stance and it's a good place to be.
