    Hello Leif !

    First of all, congratulations for Breakaway Audio Enhancer ! It is practically the best audio processor for PC.

    I have one small problem. I have a laptop that has volume control keys, but they control the volume of the primary audio device (which is Breakaway). But nothing happens when I press + or -. I think of 3 options:

    1) a patch or registry edit that sets Breakaway as primary device, but volume control is related to the secondary audio device (laptop soundcard)

    2) a feature within Breakaway to capture the hotkeys of the laptop volume keys

    3) a feature within Breakaway to link the dB volume bar in the application with the windows volume bar in taskbar volume control

    I tried the provided BaPipelineConfig.exe, but it says "Wrong driver version 4.9.8.2388". I guess I have a newer version of Breakaway Audio Enhancer (it is v1.30.02)

    Thanks in advance.

    If you use a wheel mouse there is a simple freeware solution:

    Important: Do not select Breakaway Pipeline as mixer device (won’t work). You have to select your soundcard !

    Best method for me is "Use the wheel when: The cursor is on screen edges" !

    I've solved this problem. I've found an Autohotkey script that did it: http://pcjabber.com/files/BAEvolume_0.5.3.ahk. First, you need to install Autohotkey, in order to launch the script or compile it to an .exe. You can modify the hotkeys in the script (for volume-up, volume-down and mute). I've set them like this: VOLUME_DOWN, VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_MUTE (they correspond to the media keys present on any media keyboard).

    The problem is the script lacks an OSD. So, I managed to merge with another script, an OSD script. Now I have Breakaway Volume Control and OSD according to the volume settings of Breakaway. I have attached it to this e-mail, along with gdip.ahk script for compiling to exe to work. I'm sorry I couldn't attach the .exe, but attachments are limited to 192KB.

    VERY VERY SPECIAL THANKS for the creators of those two scripts (Tyler Drake for baevolume and Rijul Ahuja for Windows 8 inspired GDIP OSD).

    Could be power supply or audio amp…just a guess.  Does it have the same problem when running on batteries?  If so, then I would think there is somthing going on with the main audio amp circuits.  Are the speakers in good shape?  no rotting edges……..bad speakers will play ok at low volume but sound tottal crap at higher volume.
