# Usage

First, enable the **Volume Up** & **Volume Down** hotkeys from the **Hotkeys** tab by checking the box to the left of the hotkey name. If you don't have a volume slider, change the key from the dropdown. You can also set a modifier key with the checkboxes to the right of the dropdown.

**NOTE:** Hotkeys cannot be enabled if their associated key is set to `None`.

Next, let's set a target application to test the hotkeys with.

Start playing some audio from any application, then return to the **Mixer** tab, click **Reload**, then click the **Select** button next to the test application, and try using the volume hotkeys.

In the settings tab, you can change how the application behaves such as which audio device is controlled, enable or disable the toast notification, enable advanced hotkeys, set the volume step (how much the volume will increase on decrease when the hotkeys are pressed), tell the application to run on startup, and more!

By enabling notifications, you will see a toast notification in the bottom right of your screen when you switch target sessions. This tells you which session is currently selected. Using the **Un/Lock Session** hotkey, you can prevent changing the targeted audio device. The border of the toast notification will be red when the currently targeted session is locked. You can press the hotkey again to unlock the session.

If you want to add or remove hotkeys, you can press the **Edit Mode** button to enable editing. You can create new hotkeys, and change the action of each hotkey when it is pressed. You can reset all hotkeys to their default value by pressing the **Reset Hotkeys** button. Note that this will also remove any additional hotkeys you have created.

> ### :warning: Note
78-
> Some applications that use the DirectInput API *(dinput)* - usually games - may cause issues with Volume Control's hotkeys.
79-
> In many cases you can resolve this by running Volume Control as an Administrator. *(See issue [#44](https://github.com/radj307/volume-control/issues/44))*

### Troubleshooting
81-
The first step when troubleshooting is always to delete `volumecontrol.json` and re-launch; this fixes the vast majority of bugs.
82-
If this does not fix your problem, post a [bug report](https://github.com/radj307/volume-control/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2Ctriage&template=BugReport.yml&title=%5BBUG%5D+...) and we'll do our best to help.
