Change MicInput Volume - possible?

[Kademlia]

Yea, a simple question:

Is it possible to change the Microphone Input Volume via the DllCall("winmm.dll" [...])?

Just can´t get it to work.

Everything i can get is Output volume and which inputdevice should be selected; not the volume.

Look here for useful links

Thanks for the answer but i already checked those links.

My mainproblem is controling the Input Microphone Volume (and if possible setting the Micboost). As most Computers i got to see use OnboardSonund and "Realtek AC97 Audio" is often used i can´t get around optimizing for that device.

The Mainproblem here is: None of the Scripts if found were able to change the Input Volume. Only the Output.

Here are some examples of the structure of Mixerdevices i got from some friends (computerlanguage:german)

I tried to sneak around this problem with the "VolumeLine" tool but this is just a realy bad way so i will try again on the DllCalls.

Hi there,

I am trying to find a way of setting the Microphone record or Input setting and have failed.

When you say, "Got it", HOW??????

Best regards,

David

[Kademlia]

I only got the half way, i tought no one was interested so i stopped posting about this topic.

I need to be able to to two things:

1. Change Mic volume

2. Change MIC Boost ON/OFF (This is more important because on most computers you will nearly not hear a person speaking just by changing Mic volume to 100%)

to 1: I managed to get he IDs of the InputLines. I stopped at that point because i knew changing the MIC BOOST is more difficult. So i started working there.

You can see the IDs for the INPUTLines by doing this to MXSelectInputSrc.au3

CODE

Func GetLineConnectionsNames(ByRef $mixers,ByRef $mxInList,$index)

Local $i,$x,$n,$hmxobj,$ret

If $mixers[0][0] Then

$hmxobj=$mixers[$index][$MIX_HMXOBJ]

$x=0

For $n=0 To $mixers[$index][$MIX_CCONNECTIONS]-1

zeroline($mxline)

$mxline[$dwDestination]=$mixers[$index][$MIX_DWLINEID]

$mxline[$dwSource]=$n

$ret=MixerGetLineInfo($hmxobj,$mxline,BitOR($MIXER_OBJECTF_HMIXER,$MIXER_GETLINEINFOF_SOURCE)) ;ask for source lines

If NOT @error Then

$mxInList[$x][$lst_destname]=$mxline[$szName] & " ID= " & $mxline[4]

$mxInList[$x][$lst_dwComponentType]=$mxline[$dwComponentType]

$x=$x+1

If UBound($mxInList)<$x+1 Then ReDim $mxInList[$x+2][uBound($mxInList,2)]

Else

SetError(1)

Return False

EndIf

Next ;n

$mxInList[0][0]=$x

Return True

Else

SetError(1)

Return False

EndIf

EndFunc

2: Tried a long time...but i just cant get it to work - i compared with some examples at codeproject, at expert-exchange aso... just don´t know whats going wrong

The code i tried to port can be found here (bottom of page): http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programmin...l?eeSearch=true

I added this to MXSelectInputSrc_include.au3

CODE

Const $MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_SWITCH =0x20000000

Const $MIXERCONTROL_CT_SC_SWITCH_BOOLEAN = 0

Const $MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BOOLEAN = BitOR($MIXERCONTROL_CT_CLASS_SWITCH , $MIXERCONTROL_CT_SC_SWITCH_BOOLEAN , $MIXERCONTROL_CT_UNITS_BOOLEAN)

Const $MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_ONOFF = ($MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BOOLEAN + 1)

Const $MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MUTE = ($MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BOOLEAN + 2)

Const $MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MONO = ($MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BOOLEAN + 3)

Const $MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_LOUDNESS = ($MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BOOLEAN + 4)

Const $MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_STEREOENH = ($MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_BOOLEAN + 5)

Attached the not working Micboost :-/

Start it and click "TEST" - you will get a consoleoutput including the ControlID. But im not able to change the setting always getting an error (11).
