Controller

ONGD - FREE Calaym from http://ctuser.net/?calaym Should run on Windows 95 / NT3.51 and higher, up to Windows 7. The author is sure - but cannot guarantee - it will work on those Windows versions (Contact if you have any issues).

Attached are stubs for all older and newer D3DX9_XX.DLL files. Using D3DX9_31 only (latest for Windows 98 as far as I know), all versions above / below will stub to this dll. all dll files in attachement are actually the same file, just renamed so you can easy extract/overwrite. backup your existing files, or you may choose to extract missing versions only; use at your own risk d3d9x_xx.zip Notes: currently NOT UPX compatible!!!!!!!!!!!!! imports / exports all functions like D3DX9_31 import / export table sharing function name strings import table not using hints (->0) thus no additional null termination needed, except for the last entry flat assembler source included (generated, vb6 code generator also included)

Right... radio buttons should be dynamically changed if sound cards do not support multiple inputs... Or someone might replace sndvol32.exe if his/her soundcard(s) do not support it. Or better using a non-MS volume control, but most alternatives I found are even worse. Btw, does any of those soundcards work on win98 (or win95)? (It appears most soundcards need win98se (wdm) or don't run on win9x at all. I even have probs installing my soundcard on Win95 using the official driver (which may be an update driver but the original is not provided) etc...

Maybe not the best title, but it is visual, somehow, i guess I didn't encounter any soundcard providing such a feature... if you check any checkbox, the other checkbox gets unchecked. It acts like a radio button (you cannot check mulitple items), so it should look like a radio button! 1) Users could have both patches in one... if you'd use my patch as source or apply the patched bytes to yours.2) If they don't appreciate my radio buttons they can edit resources on the original themselfs, or use your current one without the visual patch 3) If they find my radio button fix appealing but don't like your resource changes, they can use my patch, and maybe edit resources themselfs. You know, it's easier to modify resources than working with assembly, thats why I left the resources as much untouched as possible, and the icon was patched with ExeScope so no additional header or resource data where changed. BTW, do you trust your resource editor? Some are known to do strange things on certain conditions, and most assume all sections following the resource section can be realigned freely, which may be dangerous using certain patched files like done with kernelex...

Stripping resources and relocation sections and comparing, there is are no differences exe except the header changed by resource editing, so its just original win98 with modified resources. As such, you could use my sndvol32 as base for your resource tuning, as my version uses radio buttons for record control (done using assembly and no resource tuning at all). That is because you can choose ONE recording device only, so it should be radio buttons instead of checkboxes. You save some bytes by removing icon groups 303 and 304, which seems to be unused by sndvol32.exe itself (not used in any dialog, and only icon group used by code is 300). Saves a few bytes, but if you really care about, remove all icons from the dialogs, make the sliders smaller, remove DS_CONTEXTHELP flags from dialogs and the F1 accelerator (and maybe remove support for small controls so you can delete more resources and the remaining accelerator)... or even remove all icons and the version resource itself... got some more byte saving at hand but not worth the work and cannot be done hacking resources. Shame

Right... added that too, the version I typically use does not have those icons and I didn't ever look that close. Btw, your file seems to be identical with the win98 one, except for the updated file checksume and modifications/alignments to the resource/relocation section, so guess you just changed version number? If the icon is the only thing changed, it affects pretty much bytes... Changelog: 0511a - Also fixed icon resource 302, as posted on msfn by msstick (Screenshot not updated so)

I really find it confusing why the volume control uses checkboxes when setting up the recording device, because you can only select one. This patched volume control has some code used for the about dialog stripped (No more special icon or title) and adds code to patch the button style. based on SndVol32.exe 4.10.1998 from Windows 98 EDIT: Screenshot: Download: (see post below for updated version) EDIT: I'm not sure any soundcard supporting hardware mixing for input will work on Windows 98; You should not replace your Sndvol32.exe if your soundcard supports this feature
