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?
.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.POWER_TEST_COMPLETE, AudioPlayMode.Background)
How can a adjust the volume of sound and how to stop my embedded WMP in my application by coding?
View 1 RepliesI have seen similar questions which attempt to solve this issue, but none seem to work for me so far.Basically, for my first VB project, I am creating a virtual keyboard where a sound is played from the resources on KeyDown. So far, the program seems to work except for the fact that each key needs to be clicked by the mouse before the sound is played by pressing each key (hence put the object in focus), where I need the key to play the sound without clicking the keyboard key (put the object in focus on KeyDown).Below is an example of my code:

I was wondering if there is an easy way to analyse sound that is sent to the speakers (just before it's played). For example when playing a song in winamp or windows media player. Or is it easier to write plugins for those programs to form an interface with your own program?

View 2 RepliesIs 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.
I'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.
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.

View 1 RepliesI have Visual Basic 2005. I want to be able to adjust the Master Volume programmatically. In the recent versions of Visual Basic it is much easier but in VB2005 it is a little more involved from what I have read on previous posts. Is there a way to adjust the volume in the code of a Visual Basic 2005 program?
View 8 RepliesI was just thinking if there is any component which monitors sound output. My intention is to recognize a particular sound coming out from my soundcard. I know its an issue about the driver of my sound card but is there a way I can get atleast noise level coming out of my speakers and maybe draw a graph and detect the peak at when the sound is played?
View 7 RepliesDoes 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.
Maby ive been going about this the wrong way. Im attempting to change the system volume using VB.net. I dont want to use the mediaplayer stuff because i dont want that to be open the whole time. if someone could point me to a working API or something for changing system volume and getting the current volume id be great full! plus.

View 1 RepliesI 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 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.
how to check if
- A specific sound card is in use;
- A specific process is using any sound card;
- A sound card's current volume output

View 1 RepliesI'm creating an application that will have 3 streams of audio. I can get 2 streams playing easy enough using DirectX AudioVideoPlayback and setting the balance for each Audio Instance. However, I need a 3rd Audio instance to play out of another output such as the Rear or Centre. An alternative would be to be able to select a different sound device in the machine to play the 3rd audio stream.

I need to get the decibel level of sound being sent to the sound card (not the actual sound level the speakers are instructed to emit via volume level)There is next to no information i can find on the net to even access sound data. Could anyone point me in a direction for this? The OS will be vista/7.

I've tried a few alternative libs such as DirectShow.Net, DirectSound, BASS.Net, QuickTime and OpenTK.Some of them do what I need to do, but they are either too difficult to use and therefore impractical or they are missing some other essential features such as Events which are required to make the rest of the application work. Would anyone oppose to me posting this same thread on other forums?I will of course post a solution if one is found elsewhere without advertising external websites.
