Is there a way to determine a PC's sound volume setting?

[Gene]

The program I'm working on sounds tones at certain points to alert users who may not be looking at the screen. I put in a slider and code to raise/lower the volume. I'd like to be able to set it back on exit to what it was on startup. So, does anyone know how to determine a PC's sound volume setting?

You got lucky........... gafrost wrote this recently

Func _SoundGetWaveVolume()
    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
    DllStructDelete ($p)
    Return $WaveVol
EndFunc ;==>_SoundGetWaveVolume

how do i can get the volume

like this?

#include <soundGetWaveVolume.au3>
$ddd = SoundGetWaveVolume()
MsgBox(0,"",$ddd)

thx for help

beta is required for that script, the newest beta is on the downloads page

[GaryFrost]

using the latest beta you'll need to replace

DllStructDelete ($p)

with

$p = ""

[borisdieklinge]

can you specify a little bit more how to use the script, how can i get the variable of the volume?

thx

Gary,

I tried it, and I get a return of 100. It doesn't matter if I turn the sound up or down, I get the same result of 100

[weaponx]

Works for me dude. I'm using 3.2.8.1. Remember, this is returning the volume level for Wave Out, not Master Volume!
