zero volume at winamp startup

vchild · May 7, 2004, 01:28 PM

Hi,
I've installed kx driver and everything worked just fine. But some days ago trying to listen to some music with winamp i found out that every time i start winamp output volume in kx mixer falls to zero. Moreover when i raise the volume it falls down again at the start of every song.
I tried various media programs but the result was just the same.
Is it my winXP pro problem or i missed something in kx driver?
Please, help.

i think it may be winamp's internal settings, try uninstalling and then re-installing

But when i play windows media player (for a change) - nothing changes, the problem remains! It happens whenever i start some media application. I tried to reinstall kx - the result is just the same.
Frankly, i just want to understang one thing: is it XP problem or is it kx problem...

That's weird. Try using waveOut plugin in winamp instead of DirectSound and see if anything changes.

Make sure either output plugin is set to KX 0/1 and NOT primary sound driver, I clicked on that by mistake once and it caused problems......could be that..Nice thing about winamp, can be ripped out and reinstalled in a snap

Strange as it may seem, reinstalling winamp solved the problem =))
I wonder what winamp has in it that make things so unpredictable =))
The most interesting thing bout it is that as i've said other applications didnt work propely either,
now evrything's fine
