Hi Marty, unfortunately, the first plug-in in the input section is a CD plug-in and it doesn't have any volume control settings. I guess they've changed things a good bit since 5.13.
I was using 5.06 if you can believe it until a few weeks ago when my old computer broke down. And I'm getting tempted to return to it, if for no other reason than the fact that I could use the library perfectly. It didn't have as much in it, but what was there was perfectly accessible. I still don't know how to access the Internet TV streams I could look through and play in the old version with ease. I didn't have to configure anything.
Anyway, I wasn't even looking in the input section, where I have 14 plug-ins; I was looking in the output section. It just seemed more logical. But nothing I tried in there would do what I wanted.
Thanks anyhow. Evan----- Original Message ----- From: "Marty Rimpau" <mrimpau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, if the newer versions of winamp work the way the older versions do, then from the preferences tree-view with control p, find the input plugins, and then tab over to the list, and the first one is the one you want, so make sure this is selected with the space bar, then tab to the configure button, and press the space bar, and check two check boxes, the enable volume control check box, and the alt settings method slow check box, and once both those check boxes are checked, then you can press escape to get out of the preferences dialog. This is provided that the newer versions of winamp work the way older versions of winamp do, so if you have any problems, I won't be able to vouch for that, since I'm using winamp 5.13.

Until recently, I was using a considerably older version, and I had it set such that when I used the up and down arrow keys, both Winamp and my speech changed together; and I used the equalizer preamp to change Winamp volume separately from speech. Now, the arrow keys change the Winamp volume but not the speech. I've done a little playing around with the plug-ins I have here, but I can't seem to find the setting I need. Also, one thing I tried yesterday lost my audio, so I'm a little nervous about further meddling around in there. Once I had it set the way I liked it in the earlier version, I left it alone, so now I don't remember how I did it. Or, it might have been that way by default. I'm not sure. Anyway, could someone remind me how to get that set the way I like it again? I like having the option of either changing the Winamp volume separately from speech, but also having the ability to change them both together. Is that still available in this new version? Thanks much for any guidance.
