rgelb 0 Posted February 12, 2011 I'd like to mute the system sound for the duration that the script run, then restore the master volume. The only thing that I found was SoundSetWaveVolume which only pertains to wave volume and does not work on Win7. I saw some threads from 2007 about it. Has this feature been added to AutoIt by any chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tvern 11 Posted February 12, 2011 I had some trouble with this a while ago. For some reason Send(Chr(0xAD)) didn't work. (0xAD being the hex code for the mute button), but I found a script somewhere that I could translate into this: Local $oWShell = ObjCreate("WScript.Shell") $oWShell.SendKeys(Chr(0xAD)) Which does the trick. Might not be the best way though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somdcomputerguy 103 Posted February 13, 2011 Does this not work for you? It does on two laptops I have running Win7 & Vista. Send("{VOLUME_MUTE}") - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tvern 11 Posted February 13, 2011 Does this not work for you? It does on two laptops I have running Win7 & Vista. Send("{VOLUME_MUTE}") Works for me. I must have overlooked that when I last struggled with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somdcomputerguy 103 Posted February 13, 2011 ... when I last struggled with it. AutoIt and these lines of code have prevented me from kicking my own butt for not getting a laptop with external multimedia controls.. Switch @HotKeyPressed Case "{F2}" Send("{VOLUME_MUTE}") Case "{F3}" Send("{VOLUME_DOWN}") Case "{F4}" Send("{VOLUME_UP}") EndSwitch - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
