I have a laptop running XP and got it working like a charm with Jamcast, streaming to my DLNA enabled speakers.

However, the volume of the output follows the volume on my laptop. With the buffering delay, that really is a showstopper for me.

Is it possible to disable my laptop speakers without disabling the volume to Jamcast?

All and any help would be appreciated.

...seems to work for me now. Instead of muting spotify, mute the volume in the taskbar, that did the trick!

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for checking out Jamcast!

The behavior describe does vary by device -- it depends on how the audio hardware and Windows interact. As bigwinna545 posted above, on many systems you can mute the PC speakers via the speaker icon in the Windows system tray without affecting the audio sent to the Virtual Soundcard. On other systems, this disables the streaming audio as well...

Many laptops have a hardware volume knob that will assist in this respect as well but, again, depending on the setup this knob may actually be controlling the Windows volume which in turn affects the streaming volume and is not what you want.

As a last resort, I've heard of some plugging a pair of headphones in... Huh

Hope this gets you there.

Thanks!
Scott
