VPX and PinballX sound issues

[GrandlHuber]

Hello everyone!

 

Since I updated VPX to 64-bit, I've been experiencing some issues with the sound. I'm using PinballX as the frontend.

On some tables, the table sounds are very loud, and the ROM music is barely audible, even though the TableVolume in the ROM is turned up all the way. On some other tables, the table sounds are barely audible, if at all.

 

While in the PinballX frontend, the sound is at the correct volume. However, as soon as I start a VPX table, VPX becomes extremely quiet. I can only adjust this using the Windows volume. It's inconvenient, especially when I forget to lower the volume after exiting the table because it startles me when I return to PinballX.

I've tried using PinVol.exe to adjust the volume, and it allows me to control the ROM volume with my keyboard's slider and adjust the Windows volume quickly with Win+F9 and Win+F10. However, I can't seem to adjust the table sounds. Furthermore, even with PinVol.exe, VPX remains five times quieter than PinballX.

Does anyone have any tips for me?

Are you running the 10.8 Beta?  For me PinVol does not work at all (only global system volume) when using the Beta (Dx9 or OpenGL version).  Unsure if devs are aware of this issue.

I'm using the latest vpx build beta 10.8 and PinballX, tables load fine as for now. Some tables need volume adjustment because they are low (volume set to 10/13) and I raise to max, but not a big deal...

Did you ever get a fix for this? Exact same behavior on my end.

I have done a complete new Win10 installation. Now it works

I'm in a new install (Windows 11), and have this same issue.  Table sounds are VERY loud, while the music/voices are nearly inaudible.  Anybody who's fixed this issue without a full reinstall would be my hero...

I have the same problem on my desktop install (Windows 11 ).

On a few VPX tables only.

Anybody who's fixed this issue without a full reinstall would be a hero, and not for just one guy !

 

Actually and in futur most of system will be install on Windows 11.
