Windows 7 Creating a Desktop Shortcut for Line-In Level Control

[Cheemag]

Hello Again,

Anyone know if it's possible to put the Line-In level slider on the desktop, or at least a shortcut to it?

I have a programme which insists on depressing the Line-In level when it starts, and it's a real pain going via the volume control thing in the tray.

Regards

To quickly access the Line-In level slider on your desktop or create a shortcut to it, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a Desktop Shortcut:
   • Right-click on an empty area on your desktop.
   • Select "New" and then "Shortcut."
   • In the location field, type the following path:

      rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL mmsys.cpl,,2

   • Click "Next," give your shortcut a name (e.g., Line-In Level), and then click "Finish."
   []Modify Line-In Volume:
   • Double-click the newly created shortcut. This will open the Sound settings directly to the "Recording" tab with the Line-In option.
   []Pin Shortcut to Taskbar (Optional):
   • You can right-click the shortcut and choose "Pin to Taskbar" for quick access without cluttering your desktop. By using this shortcut, you can access the Line-In level slider directly without navigating through the volume control settings. This should help you manage the Line-In settings more conveniently.
