Adjust Mic Volume Level?

[Yincognito]

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?!

Did you copy the Addons and Scripts subfolders in your @Resources folder?

[sl23]

Yes, it's all set up and working as expected now, thank you

The only thing is the error dc already stated there's nothing can be done about.

One other minor issue is that when you click around the 1% and 3% mark (and maybe others?) you get this:

can this be fixed?

EDIT: Simple substitute worked here:

Code: Select all

[MicVolume]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PowershellRM
ScriptFile=#@#Scripts\MicVolume.ps1
Substitute="1.000001":"1","2.999999":"2","9.000001":"9"

Here we go.

You can either drag the indicator or scrub with the mouse wheel to change the volume(s). The icons toggle mute. Right-click for a menu item to load Windows Sound Settings.

Hehe, nice trick to round the fractional values (screenshot 1) and avoid the "other" errors in death.crafter's version (screenshot 2), but you have to be careful how you use the measure's value(s):

Volumes.jpg

Volume.jpg

Excellent work though!
EDIT: By the way, the fractional part can be eliminated by doing a:

Code: Select all

return $((Get-AudioDevice -RecordingVolume) -replace '([.,].*)?%', '')

or similar, but unfortunately on strings this is problematic. Not sure if it would work if converted / rounded to a number first, from PowerShell...

[jsmorley]

I'm never getting a fractional number when I use it...

I am getting some errors in the log though, from PowerShellRM I suspect.

Code: Select all

System.Management.Automation.PSInvalidOperationException: The pipeline was not run because a pipeline is already running. Pipelines cannot be run concurrently.
   at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PipelineBase.DoConcurrentCheck(Boolean syncCall, Object syncObject, Boolean isInLock)
   at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceBase.DoConcurrentCheckAndAddToRunningPipelines(PipelineBase pipeline, Boolean syncCall)
   at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PipelineBase.CoreInvoke(IEnumer (PSVolume\PSVolume.ini - [InputVolume])

Might need to adjust this so there is only ever one PowerShellRM plugin measure active.

[death.crafter]

Since you don't need two power shell sessions, you might want to use child measure to get mute state.

Like

Code: Select all

[AudioParent]

; All the code go here

Line=Get-Volume -Type Output

[InputVolume]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PowershellRM
Parent=AudioParent
Line=Get-Volume -Type Input

Code: Select all

function Get-Volume {
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory)]
        [string]
        $Type
    )
    switch($Type) {
        'Output' {
            if (Get-AudioDevice -PlaybackMute) {
                return -1
            } else {
                return $((Get-AudioDevice -PlaybackVolume) -replace '%', '')
            }
        }
        'Input' {
            if (Get-AudioDevice -RecordingMute) {
                return -1
            } else {
                return $((Get-AudioDevice -RecordingVolume) -replace '%', '')
            }
        }
    }
}

Yeah, that's the ticket... I'll make that adjustment and repost in a bit.

Yeah, I didn't mean those errors, since for that apparently there isn't a solution. I meant the [InputVolume]'s string value, when trying to set the mic volume to 1%. Of course, it's more obvious in death.crafter's version, as it's based on click and doesn't "refine" the return value through something like [*MeasureInputPercent:%,0*]. I was curious how you handled that, but it seems the refinement is done after the fractional value is received in the skin, as you can see from the log. I was trying to fix that from the PowerShell script itself (see my EDIT above).

Anyway, the fact that you don't get fractional values might have something to do with the pixels and how they divide to the total. For example, sl23 got that for both 1% and 3%, but I only get it for 1%...

Dunno. I just never get a fractional value as the volume, as that is not supported in Windows sound settings.

[death.crafter]

Dunno. I just never get a fractional value as the volume, as that is not supported in Windows sound settings.

Same here. I use floor(), so even if you could, you can't possibly set a double value in the first place. I wonder why they end up getting fractional values.

About that error, PowershellRM gives that error sometimes. Every time I faced it, it got solved automatically. So I really don't know what causes it. It happens at random. Khan is busy with uni stuff so I don't think he can look into it anytime soon.
