tratliff Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 The Control4 remote works great however using the volume +- buttons it is very slow to increase or decrease the volume level.Is there a way to increase the speed at which the volume ramps up and down? The receiver handles the volume and the original remote that came with the receiver did a good job at controlling volume. The Control4 remote takes forever to significantly raise or lower volume.I have looked everywhere for some type of setting that controls this but have found nothing. There is nothing in the receiver setup to adjust the volume speed. Anything in the Control4 setup to try? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c44me Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 This is true of both my C4 HTC's. Have just lived with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlepp571 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Check the driver for the delay between individual commands. Most have a 500ms delay before the next command, assuming you are using IR. You can lower that. I have had many devices that work just fine at 50ms. Just play with it for optimal response. You will have to delete the old driver and re-add it and re-bind it to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hike Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have programmed the * and # buttons to raise and lower volume 15 "points" out of 100.Great when loud commercials come on.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemay Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I agree with schlepp571... check the driver see what the pauses between pulses are - and hike... that's not a bad idea too - even with the factory remote - there have been times I've wanted to quickly move the volume up / down - that'd would do it!

punkrock Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 also you can have the ir command repeat like 5 or 6 times rates than the default 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tratliff Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 i guess hike has the best (and only) workaround for the C4 system remote (programming unused buttons)maybe there will be something in upcoming updates.thanks to all for the input.

slemay Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 There is nothing wrong with the system tratliff - so I don't quite understand why C4 would try and improve upon it? In all of our setups you simple hold the vol+ or vol- key and it changes the volume at about the same rate as using the original remote... so why would C4 improve upon this?

tratliff Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 the C4 remote does NOT increase/decrease the volume at the same rate as the original remote that came with the receiver or other aftermarket remotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 If that's the case, then the repeat rate or the inter-IR delay for that IR driver must be off somehow.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tratliff Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Good thinking Ryan. Where in the driver edit do I change the repeat rate or inter-IR delay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 With the Driver Wizard. Right-click on your driver in Composer, do 'Edit Driver'.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tratliff Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ryan - thanks for your help and coming to these forums.yes, that part if know (right-click to edit driver). but where would I change the repeat rate or inter-IR delay?Device info.: nothing there appliesCodes: volume up and down are default codes and can't be edittedMacros: ?

zipperman19 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 In the actual area where the IR code is...you click the edit box and there is a place to put the repeat count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tratliff Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 I think I see why I am confused about the repeat rate/IR delay. I am using a serial driver and it seems there are different paramaters for serial drivers.Any ideas on how to increase the volume ramp rate with a serial command?

zipperman19 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 ohh its a serial driver? Maybe the devices responds differently to serial devices than IR drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The only way to increase it with a serial driver is if the serial command set has a command that will do two volume up levels at one time.Or you could do two serial commands back-to-back in one serial string.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tratliff Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Screw it! I'm going to switch over from the serial driver to the IR driver then. What a pain.Thanks for everyones help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkrock Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 only thing i like about serial drivers on the receiver is discrete volume control... other than that your right, serial drivers are a big pain and never seem to work right and react slow.... I get by using a denon with the power on volume set to a specific level. (in the denon setup) Its a good compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
