Mice - MX Air All

[Pythagoras]

jamesrrdaniel, I got sound controls by another way. I changed scrollup click and scrolldown click to VOLUMEUP and VOLUMEDOWN.

ooo, that's actually not a bad idea!

hmmm, I might actually do that too, but I'm having a hard time getting used to the mx air's touch scroll. It's a little tough, sometimes scrolls too much. So, I actually use the scroll up and down clicks as I browse. Maybe when I get used to the inertia scroll, I'll change it. (I know I can turn off the inertia, but then it scrolls wayyyy too slow)

Thanks for letting me know, i'll keep that in mind!

But, I'm still hoping logitech just fixes this problem. I just don't understand why they keep asking for us to give them our computer information. I think we already did...

VISTA 64.

why do you want my PID #s.... it's DINOVO EDGE + MX AIR I think that's all there's need to known.

Grab yourself a vista, latest setpoint software and those 2 products. (I think MX AIR alone behaves this way too!)

Is it really that hard for them to get ahold of vista? One of the logitech programmers must have vista laying around somewhere! And I'm pretty sure they can easily get ahold of their own products... I'm wondering if the logitech personnels are even using their own products; I'm sort of guessing they are NOT. If they were, they would be frustrated themselves and offered to solve the solution! START USING YOUR OWN PRODUCTS!

Who is the quality control manager? I need a word with him! and not a very nice one

I made another experiment. I reinstalled windows (formated primary particion) and SetPoint have lost controll on sound after I intalled videocard driver. I have ATI X2600 and driver installs new sound device for HDMI. So, like I already wrote, SetPoint's Stromboli volume control (Logitech programmers called new volume control "StromboliVolSet" ) can't apply volume changes when system is Vista and has two or mode sound devices.

Hi all, think I may have fixed it.

Background: Installed Vista Premium 64 bit the other week and bought the MX Air after my DiNovo mouse died (keyboard and keypad had perished some months before due to some unidentified hardware fault). Little did I know the DiNovo MX900 perished because I had downloaded all the latest updates to my freshly installed Vista (including that infamous one that destroys all USB perhiperals!). Anyway I ended up buying the MX Air and had read about this problem previously so was prepared. And yes the volume control did not adjust the acutal sound volume while Setpoint was running.

The Fix: After reinstalling Vista Prem 64bit due to the USB problem from the irreversible Windows update I noticed that I had an additional sound device: my soundblaster and an additional windows HD audio device, in my device list. I rememberd this being listed before. Note I had disabled my onboard sound in the Bios so it couldnt have been that. It was possibly something to do with my ATI 2600XT card? Anyway I disabled it leaving just my Creative audio device and now my MX Air Volume actually controls the sound output with Setpoint in the background providing me with the screen volume control.

Note: I currently have the Vista driver signing disabled and had this disabled for all of my installs. Also as of yet I have not installed any windows updates but I think a previous poster has already seen the problem on a fresh install of Vista anyway.

You are right! Thanks a lot!
I was experiencing that problem.
Disabling all the audio output devices except the one you need solves the problem!
To do that, open Control Panel, then select "Audio" (from classical view).
Inside the "Playback" tab, identify the device that you need, then for each other right-click and select "Disable".
Disabled devices may seem to disappear, but don't worry: you can right-click again and select "Show Disabled Devices" to see them again.

Logitech, now we have found a workaround, please implement a fix for the next SetPoint release: windows vista doesn't behave correctly when there are multiple playback devices.

Volume control is now solved, at least for me:

I had switched, a few months ago,  to Logitech VX Nano for testing and, instead of changing the batteries today, I went back to the MX Air.  To my surprise, Volume Control was now working!

Although many programs have been updated since, what has changed from my previous setup (Vista Ultimate 32 bit) and probably more specifically relevant to the mouse problem was the use of Setpoint  4.60.122 and,  most important, the new Vista drivers that came out a few days ago from Creative for the Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Series sound card  I am using.  No modification to the default Setpoint settings needed to be changed for the volume control to work.
