volume not working on remote control xl301

[fraserok]

any ideas?

just to confirm, all other buttons seem to work. mute, arrows, ok, etc. but not the volume buttons.

the volume buttons work on the keyboard, not on the remote.

I don't have exactly the same system but it might be a similar problem I came across (on the XL201). If you connect your speakers to the RCA output (red and white sockets) the remote has no effect on the volume. You need a utility called Volume Tracker - http://www.chrisnet.net/apps/VolumeTracker.zip Remember to place a shortcut of the utility in your startup folder. Not sure if it's the same problem you're having but it might be worth giving it a try.

I've never had the Vaio remote control able to affect my 201's TV volume, only the PC volume. Like you say, all other buttons work (channel up/down for instance). If you set the TV to a standard volume, then use the remote to control the output from the Vaio's soundcard, that may work?

I still use the remote for my Sony TV to control the volume there, but guess it should work from the one, as they're the same manufacturer.
