For those of you that use Vista, you probably already know it has some unique volume control "capabilities".
PH has:
ph_setsysvol()
ph_getsysvol()
ph_getsysvolmax()
ph_getsysvolmin()
But these appear to only set PowerHome's application volume, not the OVERALL volume of the computer.
Ideally, I would like to be able to control PH's volume, other applications volume, AND the overall system volume.
Has anyone else figured out a work around?

I use ph_setsysvol(20208) with Vista and it sets Vista volume to 50.

Yes, setting the volume is presently possible using the commands I mentioned, but is there anyway to set the OVERALL volume (and not just the application volume) when multiple applications are opened?

In XPsp2 those commands do control the overall PC system
volume and not the application volume. Not sure about
Vista though.

Most of my apps have their own volume control but I don’t know of any way to have PH control them.

I know this topic is years old, but here is how I just handled this on my Win 7 system.
1. Downloaded nircmd from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
2. Unzipped the files and placed them in c:\windows\
3. Replaced ph_setsysvol() with the following:
a. Set system var TEMP1 to the desired volume number (between 0 and 65000)
b. ph_run('nircmd.exe setvolume 0 [TEMP1] [TEMP1]')
Explanation: I'm telling the system to set the right and left channels of main volume (0) to whatever is in TEMP1. This seems to be working fine on a Win 7 32bit system.
Hope that help someone, this conversion to Win 7 has been very interesting so far. Now I'm off to figure out why firecracker can't get a signal to the A/V center.
Peace!
