Hey

How to change sound volume using powershell?
There are some programs that are storing theirs volume levels and therefore
are changing my settings. I'd like to write simple script that will change it
back for me.

What are you willing to try? A script could likely be written to
automate the mouse clicks required to get this done.

Alternatively, it appears this is *not* easy at all to do:

That's Vista... Apparently it is even harder in XP.

You can do it with AutoIT. Create a file with the following code and compile
it to exe. Then just call it with one
parameter, the volume by percent (e.g., 'SoundSetWaveVolume.exe 50'):

#SoundSetWaveVolume.au3
#Sets the system wave volume by percent.
SoundSetWaveVolume($CmdLine[1])

AutoIT: http://www.autoitscript.com/

Interesting... BTW, once you install AutoIT, that file is in:
C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\Helpfile

Also, once installed, you have a menu pick to compile the script to an exe.

Marco

Thanks.

I tried this quickly. Perhaps too quickly...

It isn't working on XP SP2, and furthermore, this isn't for the master
volume (besides that's what the name of the script says anyways).

It is working on my XP SP2 though the volume slider doesn't update its levels.
Play some song in the background and give it another try.

One of the tricky things with Vista is that there is a volume level and
settings for each program that is running.
