Volume OSD?

[IceBreakerG]

Just curious if anyone has gotten an OSD for the volume in Vista? I have one by default on XP MCE 2005 and I'd like to get one like that for Vista, but haven't seen anything. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

Its part of the sound drivers. A lot of people have the same problem that the OSD does not work with vista. Check for driver updates and if not you'll probably have to wait.

The only volume OSD that I've seen that works is the one on the Logitech G15 keyboard.

That's the one I use for my laptop. Works perfectly on Windows XP, haven't tested it on Vista. It adds a couple more things, like dimming the display, but those only work on the original model. Give it a try, and tell me what you think.

Get 3RVX

Best Volume OSD so far.

Edit: Forget what I said, stupid Vista make it not compatible and making it running in XP compatibility don't work anymore since some update.

Sorry.

Thanks for the replies. I could've sworn I actually saw it work at one point during the Beta period, but that was a while ago. As much as I'd like to get a G15 keyboard though (I actually really do want one), I'm not ready to drop the cash on it yet lol.

Did you try the Compaq OSD I posted?

[IceBreakerG]

I never tried the compaq driver, I was at work all day yesterday, and about to head out back to work again. I do know that my dell XP drivers don't work though.

For what it's worth it...

Volume OSD from the audio driver for my Dell Latitude D620 works perfectly

I tried, don't work under vista :(

Right now I just want to get it to work on my desktop. I have a logitech multimedia keyboard with the volume control scroll wheel. It'd just be nice to see the volume display again.

You can always use the Microsoft keyboard drivers, just select a standard MS keyboard as your keyboard type and it'll work (in my case, on an Acer laptop).

Like this better than the green osd I get, but I can't seem to rid myself of it I have a G-15 and a G5, but Setpoint isn't installed(problems with the dpi switcher). I changed the registry key to disable it, but it's still there.

look up microsoft's intellitype software for vista. it has an osd for the keyboard.

in fact, here it is: http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3...57/ITP64Eng.exe

Thanks, Intellitype Pro perfectly works with my Logitech Media Keyboard Elite : volume OSD, all shortcuts and zoom :) (itype.exe works in background and takes 832 KB in RAM)

A note to those with X-Fi cards the 3VRX program goes nuts when you switch modes(i.e from entertainment to game) the volume spasms from 0 to 100 over and over again until you kill the process so I simply stopped using it. I doubt my G-15 would work well with the Microsoft KB software and anyways I removed the green osd via a registry change so it's gone I can use the KB lcd to tell how loud it is.

To be honest, I had never had to use windows mixer much, until I got 5.1 speakers and needed to control each speaker. Since then I use <snipped> all the time, and for gaming too. It supports Vista with the OSD feature. I switch from one sound configuration to another by pressing a combination of keys or by clicking a mouse button. It is a very simple, convenient and truly powerful program.
