Screensaver - Video Volume

[Stub]

I am using mame and video commercials as my screensaver on my cabinet. I am having a large discrepancy between the sound volume of mame and the videos. Mame is low and the videos blare. I want both to be similar vol, and be a preset vol every time no matter how loud my last game or DVD was playing at.

Am I missing something, or should I put a request in to add settings in the ini for screensaver vol and screensaver video vol?

Would it even work in mame? Is there a way to pass a specific volume level on the command line?

You can have a volume setting for each game which is stored in the ini for each game. I don't think you can adjust the volume on the command line, but I haven't checked either (just never seen it).

Hmmm AdvanceMAME has a -sound_volume command line option

Hmmm AdvanceMAME has a -sound_volume command line option

MAME has one as well:

-volume / -vol <value>

	Sets the startup volume. It can later be changed with the user
	interface (see Keys section). The volume is an attenuation in dB:
	e.g., "-volume -12" will start with -12dB attenuation. The default
	is 0.

Ahhh I was doing -volume 0 and still getting sound. Thank you, I had the answer and didn't know it.
