So currently I’m using keys f8 and f9 mapped to volume up and down buttons on cabinet using joy2key. This is because I have auto hot key script at startup linked to f8 and f9. This enables those keys to function as windows volume up and down. This is irrelevant tho as I had this problem prior to setting up volume controls this way. In fact I set it up this way so I could easily bring the volume back down on the cabinet after returning back to pinballx, as it always brings my windows volume back up to blaring when I exit a table. With one click of the windows hot key to toggle master (windows) volume down it brings it right back to the setting I left it at. prior to this setup I had those volume keys mapped to pinballx volume up and down as well as visual pinball x volume up and down. It still happened that way also. This way really sucked when I tried to run pinball fx3 as there’s no volume controls settable in that game and it was set to blaring by pinballx before I launched the table. id be willing to make videos showing evidence but I assure you it’s happening exactly as I’m describing it. Please help! have I configured this wrong? I was going to try pinvol but I don’t thiamine that will help in my scenario as I’m only having the volume being messed with while I’m inside pinballx menu. Never happens when I’m playing a table on any platform. -Dave

here are the files requested. In it I loaded star trek TNG and it happened when i exited. i dont think the log shows this. i have the pinballx volumes set to 10% for both the options. is this whats causing it? here are my system specs. windows 10 pro AMD quad core processor. 6gb DDR3 Ram Nvidia GTX 750 Asus Mobo. 2TB Western Digital Blue drive. cabinet is an old williams fireball cabinet with 42" 1080p tv for playfield and 1366x768 monitor for backglass. has zebsboards encoder/plunger and a second encoder for extra buttons (service buttons , buy in button and extra flipper buttons for nudge / magna save.) hope this helps narrow down the diagnosis. -Dave log.txt PinballX.ini

Hey. so I use pinballx for visual pinball x and fx3. when I return to pinballx the volume (windows volume) is increased. when I volume down using the windows hotkey buttons the volume returns to where I left it. when I scroll through pinballx or launch a table the volume sometimes shoots back to very high. how do I stop pinballx from messing with my windows volume at all. I want it left where it was. and every time I exit a table and reload back to pinballx the volume is super high again.
