AFAIK, what is shown in the Windows Volume Mixer (Peak Meter) can also be determined by audio hardware and/or driver, some of which either misreport or post-process the audio.

For example, on Win7 the VIA2021 chip from the Gigabyte Z77 UD3H has an extremely messed up non-linear curve in Volume Mixer:
Volume Sliders @ 100% + Source Level @ 0.86+ = 100% Volume Mixer(clipped).
Volume Sliders @ 100% + Source Level @ 0.85 = ~100% Volume Mixer.
Volume Sliders @ 100% + Source Level @ 0.75 = ~75% Volume Mixer.
Volume Sliders @ 100% + Source Level @ 0.60 = ~45% Volume Mixer.
Volume Sliders @ 100% + Source Level @ 0.50 = ~25% Volume Mixer.
Volume Sliders @ 100% + Source Level @ 0.25 = ~10% Volume Mixer.
Volume Sliders @ 100% + Source Level @ 0.15 = ~5% Volume Mixer.

The Realtek chip on my secondary P55 system has 1:1:1 scaling of Volume Sliders to Source Level to Volume Mixer on Win7.
Same with the Creative card I used on my previous WinXP/Win7 AMD 939 system.

I had assumed that the Volume Mixer worked similarly to Windows 7's and that adding support for it in Windows 8 would be unnecessary. I could be totally wrong though.

It could also be to do with drivers as you say - I think right now I'm using Windows' built-in drivers since there are no Windows 8 drivers for my motherboard at all (yet).

One interesting change in the handling of audio, which could be down to either Windows 8 or the generic driver, is that my headphones (plugged into the front line out socket) are now treated as a separate audio device, with their own master volume setting.

Is there any way to force MPC to auto resize all videos to a particular %? Like %100 Width and %130 height?

Edit:
There is!
View->video frame->keep aspect ratio" and then go to Play->Filters->ffdshow video decoder->resize & aspect tick "resize", go down to the aspect ratio section at the bottom and select "manual", then change 1.33 to whatever you want. 1.6 would be wider, 1.0 would be taller.

Have you tried fiddling with the P&S presets?

Since I am using the official windows 8 version i get wrong colors with evr (custom) and madvr. By now I have now clue what could be wrong. Does anyone have an Idea or at least the same problem. When I switch to evr the colors are fine.

Everyting seems to be redish. White actually is pink. Red seems to be purple and so on.

In between I tried all the different renderers. The only ones that produce correct colors are:

Overlay
VMR 7 and
EVR

All other renderers produce wrong colors. Does anyone have an idea?

Shouldn't it be possible with the latest madVR version to create thumbnails with the player?
With build 6174 it still aborts because "it couldn't seek single frames".

I get the "Cannot Frame Step" error when I attempt to create thumbnails with madVR 0.84.7, but only with MKV files apparently. Changing the decoder or splitter makes no difference.

Works even in Opera 12. Your reason might be blocked JavaScripts? This site is very dynamic.

I would rather try to disable JS, it will fallback to legacy mode and should work for everyone. Anyway if you have any poblems you should report it to h5ai developers and if they say that it's configuration/server fault then report it to XhmikosR's

Anybody else having troubles with Catalyst 12.11 beta drivers and MPC-HC? After updating to these drivers the MPC-HC window is just black and does not render any video. Only way to get a picture is to use windowed VMR-7/9 or madVR.

My graphics card is a Radeon 7950 and I'm using Win 7 x64.

kasper93 · 9th November 2012, 12:17

Don't use beta drivers then. Noone will try to fix bug that may be just driver bug. Use WHQL drivers and tell us about any problems with them...

Disable full/half "Floating point processing" and please report to AMD
