Is there any way to adjust audio volume directly using .net?
I can only find C++ coding which, sadly means nothing to me.
I would like to be able to record the current Audio Volume setting, change it (up or down), play a *.wav file, then return it to it's original level.
Is there any way to adjust master audio volume directly using .net?
I can find C++ coding which, sadly means nothing to me. There's also quite a lot out there for VB4, 5 and 6 but I can't get any of that to relate to .net. Most of those seem to want to invoke the 'Slider' via the mouse which is not what I'm after.
I would like to be able to: -
Record the current Audio Volume setting,
Change it (up or down),
Play a *.wav file, then
Return it to it's original level.
I've had some success with 'AxWindowsMediaPlayer' but only with it's own increase / decrease functions. I can only get it to increase the volume as far as the main system volume is set, so if that's at zero I get no output at all. As for part one of my requirement, record the current level, I've got nowhere with that at all. I tried putting the one file I want to use in resources but can't find how to access it, I have had to put the file in a folder and call it from there, it works but it seems a little crude.

How can i adjust the volume through vb.net codesomething really simple (if only in C#, that'll work too)
View 2 RepliesI've been digging around but I can't seem to find anyway to adjust the volume controls (the windows general ones) using VB .NET.Basically, I want to make a program that's always on top that allows me to changemute the microphone and the other volume values on a specific device - not necessarily the one set as default.
I got this weird feeling that I'm missing something quite simple but I simply could not find anything. I saw some media players and such but nothing similar to what I was looking for.
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.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a basic application that will allow me to open a .wav file and let me adjust the volume of the actual file: like raise the volume by 30% or 10% or some type of other measurement.
I'd like to then re-save the .wav file with the adjust volume.
I need to adjust the volume of this audio clip to make it blend with other system sounds (also played from My.Resources). I've tried looking this up in the help screens and found nothing. Is it possible to do?

View 1 RepliesSo I'm a bit new to the whole Vista/7 audio setup. My understanding is that a new "mixer" is created for each application. Is there some new .Net function which interfaces with these mixers? I'm actually trying to create an application which can adjust the MAIN system volume level as well as the mute function.
I was looking at the Endpointvolume API however I cant get it to work for me :(. Does anyone have a vb.net demo of how to harness this API?
It seems like this would be a very easy thing to accomplish, but, from what I can tell, it's most definitely not. My OS is Windows 7. All I need to do is get the current volume/audio level - the master volume. When you click the little speaker icon in the task bar and change the volume - I need that number. All I need to do is get the current volume and assign it to a label. So if the volume is at 74 when the application starts, I need my label to display 74. I've been searching for days now for a way to do this and I'm starting to get frustrated. I've looked everywhere. I've tried 3 different classes, at least a dozen different codes, assorted imported dll's- none of it even came close to what I need. From what I can tell, the current methods are all designed for windows xp. I need a way to do it in windows 7.

I just want to ask or I need some idea on how to convert wav files to mp3 and compressed the file to make the size smaller.

View 7 RepliesI have a database application developed around Access with VBA,I have used the Speech SDK and developed an application that in conjunction with MSCOMM 6.0 library calls into a remote IVR system.It sends in the credentials and queries information in response to that IVR's verbal requests. All seems successfull except for one problem;I'm using a shared SR engine and its using the system microphone as its audio input, this in turn gets the sound from the speakers which are routed to the telephone line through the modem. Of course this has a number of disadvantages - noise added to the sound from the environment and sound quality degredation as well as speaker volume dependency.
I would like the SR engine to take its audio input from the modem in paralell with the sound that goes to the speakers (so we can listen in to the call as well). This means that I must route the system audio output to the SR engine audio input. It seems that I must use an InProc SR instance - however in VBA that type is not recognized - since the shared SR uses the microphone as input by default. there is some statement to the effect that it is difficult in Microsoft's Help file. I'm unable to set the SR audio input to the modem output stream in VBA.As needed I can accomplish the C++ interface using an ActiveX object or a DLL to expose the missing API to VBA?
