Of course there are several different ways to control the volume, but the most convenient for me has been to use the scroll wheel. Works fine on both my computer and my wife's, but there's a problem with the copy loaded on the PC connected to our flat-panel TV.
The specific range of percentages seems to vary according to the media being run, but I can only adjust the volume in a narrow range using the mouse wheel. That range was 45% to 55% on the last file I played. I have to find the wedge-shaped corner control with the mouse pointer from across the living room, or dig the amplifier's remote control from between the couch cushions.
Reinstalling the program doesn't seem to help, perhaps because the player leaves some parts of itself hidden in the registry.
If this is an incorrect setting, any tips on where to look? Alternatively, is there a "VLC Player scrubber" utility anywhere, or a list of all the places VLC-related code is hiding in Windows? More of a nuisance than a major problem, but it would be nice to have the program work the same way on all our machines.
Thanks.
