| 316672 | 2005-01-21 11:07:00 | Hi, I've used various volume control applications in the taskbar for some time. My conclusion is they all respond way too slowly. E.g The standard windows one takes about 3-5secs to respond to my click. Happens on every computer I've tried no matter how fast. This gets pretty infuriating. Even volume controls like Creative's one which you get when you install Audigy software, that's slow as well. What gives? :annoyed: Anyone know any instant responding volume control apps that sit in the taskbar? |

It'll take a while to break the habit so I can use the volume control on the keyboard. :p |

| 316676 | 2005-01-23 08:21:00 | There may be a deeper reason for the slowness. On my W2K PIII550 it comes up virtually instantaneously (<0.5 seconds), and the same applies for opening the full console of controls. Maybe an uninstall/reinstall might clear a few cobwebs? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Even this one which is XP Pro SP2 slipstream which only 2months old it is still slow. I'm convinced it's just poor coding of the software. All the computers at my house respond the same. Does no one else have similar slowness? |

Just tried all others on compu,no delay at all.XPhome sp2 you need someone to look at your system! :rolleyes: |
