No sound from AutoIt applications

Hi

I'm having a weird trouble in using sounds in AutoIt (I just discovered it when trying to use SAPI (speech)). The sound isn't played on my speakers, although it displays the sound level on the mixer.

See this to know what I'm talking about:

As you can see, the sound level for "AutoIt v3 Script" is showing, but the main "Speakers" (Alto-falantes, in portuguese), does not show anything. It is not mute or anything else.

Some tests I did showed that:

  • AutoIt Beep() function works (and plays), but the sound level is showed on "Speakers" and "System sounds". No "AutoIt v3 script" is showed.
  • SoundPlay("C:WINDOWSMediaonestop.mid", 1) does the same thing like the image above: it shows the sound level, but I can't hear anything.
  • #RequireAdmin makes no difference
  • Going to Speech configuration on Control Panel works; I can hear the spoken text.
  • Yes, I can play - and hear - musics on this computer
  • No, I'm not deaf...

 

   --- EDIT ---

Well, sorry guys, right after posting this topic I suddenly wanted to test what happens if i put SoundSetWaveVolume(100). It worked! Idea from God?  o:)

As it looks like, AutoIt saves the last percent value set by SoundSetWaveVolume() function and uses it for all the other AutoIt scripts that you're going to run after it. Even if you restart your computer, the value is still stored.

So I just put SoundSetWaveVolume(100) and run it. Now everything works, even if I remove that line.

Thanks!  :bye:

Perhaps some other application set the volume too low, or maybe you did it by accident. If it's another program which is responsible, then it could happen again when you run that program in the future. It's something to consider.

I think some of my programs are responsible  :geek:

Do you know some way to get the wave volume (something like "SoundGetWaveVolume()"?) So I can restore it when I have to change it.

Edit: AutoIt internally uses waveOutSetVolume function, and winmm.dll has waveOutGetVolume. Gonna take a look.

There seem to be some topics in Example Scripts you could try:

I imagine you should be able to simply read a registory setting, but I'm not sure - not without deeper investigation. Someone else will probably have the answer - I don't have time to test much ATM. It's an old topic I linked to above.
