--Original message--

Hi all,

I have a MCE system that uses a logitech speakerset connected with a toslink
cable.
The soundcard is an on-board AC97 codec with the latest drivers. I allso
have installed ALL updates from windowsupdate.

When playing music in mediaplayer 10 i have NO problem controlling the
volume using the slidebar at the bottom of mediaplayer. Allso i can use the
master-volume in the system-bar without any problems.
But when i am watching TV using MCE2005, i can't control the volume from
within MCE (using the remote or the keyboard or a seperate mouse). I have to
set the volume level with the control-module that came with the speakers.
This is the same for TV, Video, Music and Radio within MCE.

I tried all the different set-up possibilities for the speakers in
Mediacenter. I am using the Nvidia pureVideo decoder, and tried to make
changes in the sound output, but it detects the digital toslink connection
and as a result i can't change anything.

I recently re-installed my HTPC, so i have a clean install of everything,
but to no result...

Does anybody have a solution for my problem?

Thanx in advance,

Wouter (The Netherlands)

I have my HTPC connected to a 5.1 system through the coax connection and I
also cannot control the volume through MCE, i know its not much of an answer
but I think thats just the way it is.
