"SndVol" guard duplication in my Volume mixer.

Hello. I never had speakers for my PC, just my helmet. I have never had this before, but since that day, this keeps "SndVol" that appear and duplicate in my Volume mixer. It's a little annoying because it duplicates for no apparent reason and I need to scroll all the way left and right to join the programs I want to adjust the volume. This is a screenshot attached.

Any idea what caused this? In the screenshot, it shows just SndVol which appears 3 times, but in truth, there is more to the right.

Hello

I appreciate all the research you have done. Thank you for share with the screenshot.

To better help you, please confirm on the sub questions.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  2. Before the show, you make changes to the computer?

sndvol.exe is a Volume Control Applet belonging to Microsoft® Windows® Operating System from Microsoft Corporation. SndVol32 (Sndvol32.exe) program regulates the volume settings for various sound sources (such as wave, CD and synthesizer), as well as the master volume control. SndVol32 program is represented by a speaker icon that appears in the notification area system tray of the taskbar, that appears in the bottom corner to the right of the default Windows form. Perhaps the issue could be due to an infection by the virus.

To resolve this problem, use the following methods in the order in which they are listed. After each method, check to see if the problem is resolved. If the problem is not resolved, try the next method.

  • Volume mixer is not a balance slider

    order balance of speakerphone (vista/windows7)?

    Control of game XP window had a slider for adjusting the balance for wave and "play control".  Also known as the sndvol32.exe I'm under the rc of windows 7 and the volume mixer (sndvol.exe) isn't a balance slider more.  I realize I can go manually in the adjustment of the balance, but it's a pain since I seem to have to do it so often. Y does it have a shortcut to the file .exe for this window "balance"?  Or is there a way I can back my window "control playback?

    I really want to have to pay $18 (US) for the third-party mixer program. I downloaded a free freeware program, but most are really hideous (ruins of the flow of windows 7), inflated with icons, or does not work for what I need to.

    Go to control panel of-> sound-> sub tab 'Read' select 'Properties' of your device. (Speakers, headphones)
    Then, you will be on a tab "properties of speaker.  Select 'levels this option will allow you to change the balance.

  • Volume mixer trouble

    IM on Vista 64-bit SP2. My volume mixer is to be boring. Before the update to SP2, it was fine. In the Volume mixer, my Applications to display the icon of the program running. Now there is no display name and a generic icon of windows for them. What could be the cause of this?

    Maybe it's a 'feature' of SP2.  It's the same for me-, it is not only your system.  And on mine it sometimes does not show all options - it varies from start-up to start those which it displays (and sometimes those who work) and I can't understand a solution that is not too radical for a minor problem.

    I suggest that repost you this question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads , where updates including SP2 experts will be more than happy to help you with your problem.

    You also have another option.  Free Microsoft support is always available for Vista SP2 problems to https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034&st=1&wfxredirect=1 where they provide contact information and other information.  You can try one or two options if you wish.

  • Material mix/fade Windows 'Volume Mixer?

    Hey guys,.

    I just want to know if it would be possible to get a device midi or something similar and can affect the parameters of each program/master in windows "Volume Mixer" channel, meaning... I would have material to control my chains: IE. music down, lower sykpe up a notch, turn online... master until... etc...

    What could be preventing me from doing that if I find a relatively inexpensive midi device that can be assigned to parameters in various audio design programs? I'm thinking nothing like some keyboards have master keys up/down/mute, right?

    Also, I must have User.Interface mixer open and/or targeted for this method to work?... Because I was hoping I'd be able to mix a few channels on the fly when I was in full screen/reading an article... instead of having to tinker so much.

    As opposed to and extra-$$$ digital mixer... I was looking for something like this: http://www.behringer.com/de/Products
    / BCF2000.aspx

    Or this (still cheaper!): http://www.korg.com/nanoseries2

    Assistance, workarounds, prior experience or alternative suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    I have Win7 (64 bit), its edge.

    See you soon!

    As I said, no, not as far as I know.

    To return to Daw the, most use one or more specific protocols Mackie - for example. W7 does not work.
    If all you need is simple, off, orders dumb then a USB keyboard is what you need.
    But to make the mixture where you listen to several sources at the same time, then you need the routing software, for example a DAW.
    BTW, Reaper is basically free, as long as you don't mind a nag screen at first upward. If you Google, there are freebies! Computer music Mag still has a gift on his DVD that accompanies it.
