Looking for a program to set the volume control through a script or

John Albrich - Posted 10-May-2007 - Large post about 3/4 down.

The links mentioned do not work, from here, but a search gave:

Volumizer 2.0.1
http://wareseeker.com/System/volumizer-2.0.1.zip/404274

Have *not* used it, although it could be worth a look.

I assume you do the usual scans.

How could I have not looked at my favourite batch tool.

Bested yet again. :)

As yet, not used the console variant, but will.

Thank you.

I forgot about Wizmo, thanks but I'd like to try CLVOL though.

I tend to only use programs that do not alter the system volume
levels, however something alters it that I have yet to identify.
It has a spasmodic nature, hence hard to pin down.

So thanks again for a method of dealing with it.

Command-line Parameters:

Usage:
volumizer <parameters>

All command-line parameters are optional. If no parameters are
specified, the program will start normally. If any parameters are
specified, the program will run with those parameters. To close
immediately, use the "/X" parameter

NOTE:

Any specific volume level settings (eg. /C:100) will be ignored
if you also load a pre-defined sound scheme.

Parameters:

/S:"<scheme>" - load the specified sound scheme
/C:<xxx> - set the CD volume level to "xxx" ("xxx" = 0-255)
/L:<xxx> - set the Line-In volume level to "xxx" ("xxx" = 0-255)
/M:<xxx> - set the Midi volume level to "xxx" ("xxx" = 0-255)
/W:<xxx> - set the Wave volume level to "xxx" ("xxx" = 0-255)
/X - immediately close after loading other parameters

eg. volumizer /C:150 /L:0 /M:0 /W:200
eg. volumizer /S:"My Sound Scheme"

------

Batch file usage:

To load a certain sound scheme every time you run a program, you
can create a simple batch file such as:

@echo off
volumizer /S:"My Sound Scheme" /X
c:\gamedir\mygame.exe

Save this text file as "mygame.bat" and create a shortcut pointing
to it.

------------

Tried both (GUI & Batch) with partial success. 'Wave' control is
the only control that appears to be controllable in my system. You
may find your mileage will differ (Software/Drivers etc.).

My system does not like the /X switch.

A 1999 application that appears abandoned. Seems to uninstall
cleanly with no apparent detrimental effects on my system.

Make sure you do your own stuff if you decide to give it a try,
which could be an ideal solution for someone. I'll be giving it
a miss though.

I found a nice working tool named "SetSnd.exe" with multiple options!

Works from anywhere with 'SetSnd.exe' placed in any directory on
my Xp Pro Sp2:

Command prompt
Batch file
Task Scheduler
etc.

Example using 'Start' -> 'Run'

"D:\Tools\Utils\SetSound 071\SetSnd.exe" SetCDAudioVolume 25

In article <BieRm.22490$ic1....@newsfe16.ams2>, ty...@hub.axle says...

So what is the issue with saving schemas not working? A fresh restart
should fix you right up. If not, Donationcoder has two volume controls
which I recommend to you.

http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?topic=13989.0

SetWav
set system's WAV level on startup.
output change in percentage (0-100).
EXE only due to creation of link in the startup folder.

Setsound_50.exe does what it says, sets the master and wave volumes at
50% then closes (50% was a nominal figure ## EDIT: updated the setsound
script to toggle the mute status off (if it's already on...)

I'll put them on my site.
