Get And Set The System Sound Volume?
Nov 16, 2010Does 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 - Reading And Setting System Sound Volume
Dec 20, 2009I 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).

C# - Gradually Increase System Volume On Windows Mobile / Windows CE 6.0
Jun 19, 2012I'm attempting to use waveOutSetVolume from coredll.dll to gradually increase the audio volume from silent (or near silent) to maximum.
Most of the code examples I'm finding show some predefined set points for Off, Low, Normal, Medium, High, and Very High like this:
Public Enum Volumes As Integer
OFF = 0
LOW = 858993459
[Code]....
OK, and here's some API documentation which doesn't make a lot of sense to me in this particular context. What is low-order word and high-order word and how can they both exist in a single value?
· dwVolume New volume setting. The low-order word contains the left-channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right-channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence. If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of dwVolume specifies the volume level, and the high-order word is ignored.
.net - What GPS Dongles Work With Windows 7 And The .Net 4.0 System.Device.Location Namespace
Jun 29, 2010I want to add full GPS support into my application. The .Net 4.0 System.Device.Location namespace information here is perfect for my needs. When this was first announced and the Beta release was out, I got a GPS dongle, but I could never get Windows 7 to see it as a sensor and therefore make use of System.Device.Location. After many e-mails to Microsoft they would only confirm that they were using the GPS dongle that comes with a M$ Mapping product..
Does anyone know of any other Dongles that definately will appear as a sensor in Win7? I like the look of this one, it gets good reviews and is a nice size.Is there anyway of knowing that it will work, for example what Chipsets are supported as a Windows 7 Sensor, a lot of the information out there says that the Win7 implementation is really lacking..

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.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Get Current Master Volume (Audio) - Win7
Jun 1, 2011It 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.

View 1 RepliesSet System Volume Level?
Feb 25, 2010I 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?

View 1 RepliesHow To Adjust System Volume In Win7
Apr 7, 2010I'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.

StreamReader And System.IO Operations On VolumeNames (ie \?Volume{...})?
Sep 12, 2010I 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)
