Wow. If it works for you than now it must work for totally everyone ! haha
I do hope it does for everyone...
More than 1.5dB steps ? ah, try Alt-4 followed by Alt-d to go down 6dB in one step (ok, two of course).
Alt-4 giving 6dB? That is then 4x 1.5dB? Where is the logic in that...
Btw, I'm always careful with applying two commands in a row, although all is made for it (this is your RequestPending thing).
Alt-4+U works well though (holding the Alt key with hardly any pause between 4 and U) so for my system this works way better than expected. I now only have to wait for about 2-3 seconds and the volume has changed...
Btw, notice that you can now use the OSD Running Time quite safe again...
I have the monitor turned off during unattended so it will only be a black screen or showing XX otherwise.
But for other people it could be very helpfull.
Next thing to try will be the 16x upsampling but for that to work I'll need an upgrade first...
