[Ham-Computers] Starting Windows volume control with batch file

[Dave 'Doc' Corio]

    I'm trying to start the Windows volume controls for transmit and 
receive for one of the digital applications using a batch file (the 
batch file starts all needed applications at once). The commands I'm 
using are:

sndvol32.exe -r -d1
sndvol32.exe -d1

    The first is supposed to start the control for receive, and the 
second to control the volume for the sound card volume top the rig 
(transmit)

    The problem I'm encountering is that it starts the first one okay, 
but hangs there. If I close the volume control, the batch file then 
proceeds to open the transmit control.

    Can anyone suggest how I can get the batch file to proceed after it 
opens the first volume control?

Thanks in advance!
Dave
