Master Volume Control

[ReitenX]

I checked the Roadmap discussion and went back a few pages in Suggestions but didn't see this anywhere.

Instead of manually setting the volume for each wallpaper, it would be awesome if there could be a slider somewhere like in the Settings that can change the volume of all wallpapers at the same time. Would this be at all possible?

I will likely just replace the 'audio output' checkbox with a volume slider, yeah, and then this would be multiplied with the per wallpaper volume setting that exists already.

So it's been a few years now and I still see an "audio output" checkbox. Is this still in the works?

No, sorry, we have just too many volume/muting related functions inside the application at this point.

However Windows already allows you to adjust the master volume of any given application in the volume mixer, so it's not really missing: https://www.howtogeek.com/352787/how-to-set-per-app-sound-outputs-in-windows-10/

The current checkbox option is better this way because it disables the audio streams entirely which is different from changing the volume and can make big differences on systems with audio driver problems.

I already know how to set the volume mixer. I just prefer not to because it becomes annoying, having to open the mixer and close it constantly, or to keep it open as yet another window.

Oh well.
