Adjust Mic Volume Level?

[jsmorley]

Yeah, I'd be interested in seeing how one would implement this using Win7Audio for "input" devices. How one would get the right "index" number. I'm not sure Win7Audio can be set to control "input / capture" devices. I could be wrong.

I do think nircmd.exe could play a role in this, seems to be the "go-to" utility when you search on the web. If some external process is going to be required, I'd lean toward the Powershell appraoch though. I'm not in love with having to include a .dll cmdlet file, but having to include nircmd.exe is not optimal either. I also think the PowershellRM plugin is going to be a ton more efficient than a boatload of calls to RunCommand and nircmd.

Actually, if it's for personal use you can just, Install-Module AudioDeviceCmdlets and use as is. Also if you want to, you can use RunCommand. But I didn't want to open a powershell instance for each time I want to change it or get the value(since it can be changed by other means).

Are you sure?

You're both right, my bad, forgot the mic is an input device, not an output one. Win7Audio can only handle output ones - that one I knew, just didn't make the connection with the mic being the opposite.

As a side note, too bad the Win7Audio and AudioLevel aren't more "compatible" with each other, e.g. an index or device ID that you use with one of them to be able to be used with the other as well.

And about nircmd, how would you get the volume?

SoundVolumeView & GetNir
And yes, it's easier and much more feasible with PowerShell, in this case. I just mentioned it as an alternative.

Yeah, I'm working on an example that let's you use "sliders" and "mute" buttons, to control both ouput (speakers) and input (microphone). I'd sorta like to have this for my own purposes, so it's worth the bit of effort to cobble this together.

So it will use NightHawkSLO's Mouse plugin, and the Powershell cmdlet that has been referenced. I'll post it here when I'm done.

Excellent - everybody would like that, not just you.
If only such a thing could be extended to every audio device on one's system while trying to avoid that plugin error, I believe something like this could be posted in a more visible place on the forum. In that case, I would be interested in it as well (my thing with flexibility and all that).

Yeah, my skin will just address the current default input and output devices. You can easily use Windows setting to change those.

So, you're working on a skin to set sound and mic volume? Is it likely to be any better/different than the code given by death.crafter?

Perhaps a bit more complete. It will allow dragging an indicator of the current volume to set it, and buttons to toggle mute on and off.

Looks good
Any chance scrolling can work to adjust the mouse volume so I can use a Roundline Bar with it?

Well while waiting, I tried to get death.crafter's code working in my skin. But simply adding 3 Sections and 2 Variables seems to be a problem as nothing is displayed?!

EDIT: I found the cause. It seems the Container=MeterContainer option isn't required.
