Bigbox shell disables volume buttons

I enabled Bigbox to override Windows shell to start automatically when the PC starts. When this is configured, my 2 buttons assigned to volume stop working and if I reconfigure for Windows shell, the volume starts working. Is this a bug or is there another way to configure volume buttons so they continue to work when Bigbox is the shell?

@stigzler no, unfortunately not and surprisingly no one else has chimed in so I was thinking this was a "me" problem. I've beat my head on this one too without any luck so if anyone has any information on this topic it would be nice to have all my buttons functional.

I'm joining this discussion because I've been experiencing a similar audio issue for years. Sometimes, at game launch or during gameplay, I still hear the BigBox or LaunchBox audio, forcing me to exit and re-enter the game. This issue occurs randomly, regardless of the game or emulator.

To manage it, I created an AHK script that mutes BigBox audio when the game starts and unmutes it when the game closes, but it's a tedious and less-than-ideal solution. I've reported this issue several times but haven't received any response. I hope someone has found a more practical fix.

Ahh, yea. Thanks for that post, I'll check the other thread. Not to hijack this one, but it's a shame that "destructive" bugs or basic functions are not fixed before new features given that our arcade cabinet builds are centerpieces for many of us and shame they could break for us when showing off to family and friends.
