VS 2008 - Reading And Setting System Sound Volume

Dec 20, 2009

I am trying to write a countdown timer I finally succeeded with MSDN. I get to work whatever I wanted, but this drives me nuts: How can I read and set the volume control? I want, once my timer is run down to zero, read out the current system setting, then play a system sound using
Media.SystemSounds.Exclamation.Play()
Over time I like to ramp up the volume to 80% or until one clicks the Alarm off button (then stop the timer, no sound, and reset volume).

Get And Set The System Sound Volume?

Nov 16, 2010

Does anyone know how to get and set the system sound volume? I have tried every method I've found on the net and none of them work. I've tried the winmm.dll APIs with no luck. I've also tried waveOutGetVolume/waveOutSetVolume, which didn't work. I'm using Win 7, but need a solution that works on XP+.

Right now I use the VolumeUp keyboard event, but I need to be able to get the volume and set it to a specific level.

VS 2008 Getting The Volume And Pitch Of The Sound Currently Entering The Microphone

Sep 12, 2009

get data like the pitch and volume of the sound currently being "heard" through a microphone?

Do you know the little graph which the Windows 98/XP sound recorder used to show? It used to show the pitch and volume of the sound which was being recorded. Like I want to get the data from that.

Basically, I will start experimenting this stuff by showing the volume of the sound entering the microphone in a label. And maybe the pitch too.

Set System Volume Level?

Feb 25, 2010

I have an application that plays wav and mp3 files using the Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio()function. It works fine, and I can easily set the volume level of the playback... within limits.

That limit is the system volume level. I can set the playback level for the mp3, but if the system volume is muted or set real low it may still play softly.

So how do I set the master volume level, including making sure it isn't muted?

How To Adjust System Volume In Win7

Apr 7, 2010

I'm trying to make a utility that will fade out the system volume (for when I fall asleep listening to my music). In XP and prior, controlling the system audio was very simple, however, in Vista and 7, I can't figure out how to do it. Because in Windows 7 each application has it's own volume control, lowering the volume doesn't affect the system overall - only the current app. Can anyone point me to a resource how to do this? Every forum posting that I've found on this topic is about XP, and doesn't work under newer versions of Windows.

Asp.net - Setting User's Password Via System.DirectoryServices.Protocols In AD 2008 R2

Jun 29, 2010

I am connecting to a Microsoft Active Directory server in a DMZ from my .net application (asp.net VB .net 4.0). I need to create a new "inetorgperson" in an orgunit called "SingleCustomerAccount".

I have had to use the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols namespace for all the work, because the ADSI classes (System.DirectoryServices namespace) wouldn't work across the DMZ properly.

Anyway it's been working fine connecting to Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 R2; however we're running tests against Active Directory on Windows Server 2008 R2 (2008r2 in native mode for forest and domain) in order to upgrade.

My existing code to create a user does not work.

StreamReader And System.IO Operations On VolumeNames (ie \?Volume{...})?

Sep 12, 2010

I have a device (a few actually) that connects via USB to a PC. From here it acts like a basic storage device using FAT32 as the file system. The other thing is that it won't accept drive names (C:, E:, G: etc) to it so instead you need to use its Volume GUID to connect. I have retrieved this painlessley through MountVol.exe but thats where the difficulties ended.I am not trying to access the file system through VB.NET/C#.net (either will be fine - fluent in both ;) ). In Windows Explorer I can easily visit '\?Volume{71E4C2C7-E511-4B2A-BF5C-569B2B25784E}apic' to access the device and its files. I can also use CMD and the Dir command to go through the files. Just .NET cant seem to cope. I understand the GUID changes on each PC and I am OK with this as I can use MountVol to get the GUID and run the console app with command arguments as it will always be a human initiating the command.

I have tried manually entering the path via Console.ReadKeys but this also fails to even see the directory above and any of the files inside one being 'dev' without an extention. I can use System.IO operations without extensions on "normal" drives (ie those
with letters) so I know it's not the extension causing problems. I did a Try/Catch with a StreamReader pointing to the file to see what was spurted out:

System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.
at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.HasIllegalCharacters(String[]
str)
