p.s. I didn't wrote the "get volume" part, GaryFrost did: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...mp;#entry263737 thank you Garry!

That's great, but i have something like it in driver for my keyboard xD

Edited by n3nE, 15 June 2008 - 07:01 PM.

[TehWhale]

Yes, I did too, but I uninstalled that driver, this works better. Thank you.

[sandin]

tnx

[James]

Looks nice!

[BrettF]

Cool! this is already with my laptop as standard

[EvAsion]

it looks so complicated... why?!?

[sandin]

it looks so complicated... why?!?

well, getting volume is 80% of the script above, and getting volume with:

Func _GetWaveVolume()
    Local $WaveVol = -1, $p, $ret
    Const $MMSYSERR_NOERROR = 0
    $p = DllStructCreate ("dword")
    If @error Then
        SetError(2)
        Return -2
    EndIf
    $ret = DllCall("winmm.dll", "long", "waveOutGetVolume", "long", -1, "long", DllStructGetPtr ($p))
    If ($ret[0] == $MMSYSERR_NOERROR) Then
        $WaveVol = Round(Dec(StringRight(Hex(DllStructGetData ($p, 1), 8), 4)) / 0xFFFF * 100)
    Else
        SetError(1)
    EndIf
    $Struct=0
    Return $WaveVol
EndFunc;==>_SoundGetWaveVolume

gets you only wave percentage, so I searched the forum and I found a solution posted by GarryFrost, which I stated above, I just used his script for getting "master sound".

it would look much more simplifier if you would save all functions for getting sound volume into separate .au3 and then include it in this script, but I posted this in 1 script, so people wouldn't bother copy/paste 2 scripts if they wanted to try it.

p.s. Tnx for the compliments

This is very nice indeed! Unfortunately, it does not seem to work on my Vista machine. That's where I could need a script like this!

[TehWhale]

Thanks again, for this, oh and your avatar is really cool.

[sandin]

This is very nice indeed! Unfortunately, it does not seem to work on my Vista machine. That's where I could need a script like this!

huh, I dun have vista, I had it, but it didn't supported lots of my progs I had, and some of my PC drivers, so... I went back to good ol' XP
I guess vista uses different constants or different dll files, so the prog. is unable to display volume information

Thanks again, for this, oh and your avatar is really cool.

I'm glad you like it

[Calistoga]

Yeah, you're probably right. Awesome script anyway!

[sandin]

i made this that does the same thing i think but it ony uses a tool tip, it also uses the code from garryfrost to get the audio volume

[sandin]

it's cool but your script return Wave volume, and not master volume(, right?)

[FaT3oYCG]

lol i dont know im new to this i just read you thing here, and decided that i wanted to ADD some hotkeys to my keybard that increase and decrease the volume, it works just fine with windows media player and everything else, so basically i dont have a clue.

i read about the functions in the help file and searced for a function to get the volume as i couldnt find one and there we have it i simply coded the little volume bar that is displayed in the tool tip and thats it.

pretty basic really, but we all have to start somewhere.

[sandin]

go here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...mp;#entry263737
download mixer.au3, include it in your script, and use this function to increase/decrease master volume:

#include <Mixer.au3>
$Volume = 75 ;can be 0 - 100
_SetMixerVolume($MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_SPEAKERS, $Volume )

[lixperry]

I love this program, I use it at work & at home. The only suggestion I have is to show the word Mute when you mute it. and give users the option to constantly show mute while it is muted, kinda like my TV.

[sandin]

thank you for your kind words. Btw there is one known method of detecting if your master sound is muted, but it's not recommended to keep it in a loop, cause it will take a lot of CPU resources. ;/

[heliaca]

Hi everyone,

This is simple program that display your volume on desktop, so if you have a keyboard with hotkey for volume up/down, than this might be usefull to you.
