Extra _Sound functions

Kip · March 23, 2008

I was searching how to set the volume of a _Sound file, and I found a view different functions too.

So I wrote a little _sound extension

Functions:

_SoundVolume() ; Set the master volume, (just for 1 sound Id, not for the whole computer like SoundSetWaveVolume() does.)

_SoundPanLeft() ; Set the volume of the left speakers,

_SoundPanRight() ; Set the volume of the right speakers,

_SoundSpeed() ; Set the speed,

_SoundTimeToMs() ; Convert HH:MM:SS to milliseconds,

_SoundMsToTime() ; Convert milliseconds to HH:MM:SS,

_SoundInfo() ; Returns almost all known information about a sound.

(Check end of this post for all possible parameters you want information about.)

<Sound.au3> should be included, otherwise the functions wont work.

The script with an example in it:

#include <Sound.au3>

$Sound = _SoundOpen("C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Shared\Rob Mayth - Can I Get A Witness.mp3"); Pick a song that is at least 1 minute long

_SoundPlay($Sound)


ConsoleWrite(@CRLF&@CRLF&"First: Volume...")

For $i = 1000 to 0 Step -1
    _SoundVolume($Sound,$i)
    Sleep(1)
Next
For $i = 0 to 1000
    _SoundVolume($Sound,$i)
    Sleep(1)
Next

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF&@CRLF&"Second: Pan...")

for $i = 0 to 1000 Step 5
    _SoundPanLeft($Sound,$i)
    _SoundPanRight($Sound,1000-$i)
    Sleep(1)
Next
for $i = 0 to 1000 step 5
    _SoundPanLeft($Sound,1000-$i)
    _SoundPanRight($Sound,$i)
    Sleep(1)
Next

_SoundPanRight($Sound,1000); normal
_SoundPanLeft($Sound,1000); normal

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF&@CRLF&"Third: Speed...")



_SoundSpeed($Sound,500)
Sleep(3000)
_SoundSpeed($Sound,800)
Sleep(3000)
_SoundSpeed($Sound,1500)
Sleep(3000)
_SoundSpeed($Sound,2200)
Sleep(3000)
_SoundSpeed($Sound,1000); normal


ConsoleWrite(@CRLF&@CRLF&"Fourth: Info,")
    
    $Info = _SoundInfo($Sound, "Speed")
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF&"Current speed: "& $Info)
    
    $Info = _SoundInfo($Sound, "Volume")
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF&"Current volume: "& $Info)

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF&@CRLF&"Done! Enjoy the rest of the song."&@CRLF&@CRLF)

Great job kip !

Kip · March 23, 2008

maybe useful for your media player?

Nahuel · March 23, 2008

Great job!

I once saw a little app in VB that was capable of generating sounds with a given frequency, tone, etc... (no, not Beep().. using the sound card). This sounds very doable, but I don't quite get the functions in Audio.au3 or Sound.au3 and I don't have internet at home anymore... Anyway, if you can accept the challenge...

DirtDBaK · March 23, 2008

Thanks these

_SoundPanLeft() ; Set the volume of the left speakers
_SoundPanRight() ; Set the volume of the right speakers

funtions I posted about getting some help for along with some other mciSendString Commands

I will try to add these into amp 3, thanks!

I don't understand VB, but it seems to use the functions in winmm.dll That's why I thought this could be possible in AutoIt...

Kip · March 23, 2008

the C# code is similar to Beep()

Nahuel · March 24, 2008

haha, then use the VB code

Kip · March 24, 2008

I'm first busy with pitch, treble and bass functions.

and:

Public Type WAVEFORMATEX
wFormatTag As Integer
nChannels As Integer
nSamplesPerSec As Long
nAvgBytesPerSec As Long
nBlockAlign As Integer
wBitsPerSample As Integer
cbSize As Integer
End Type


Dim wavFormat As WAVEFORMATEX
Public Const WAVE_FORMAT_PCM = 1


With wavFormat
.wFormatTag = WAVE_FORMAT_PCM
.nChannels = 2
.wBitsPerSample = 16
.nSamplesPerSec = 44100
.nBlockAlign = 2
.nAvgBytesPerSec = 176400
End With

doesnt this creates an object? Autoit cant do that.

@kip

I'll try to implement some functions into my media player .

Thx for these great functions !

Kip · March 24, 2008

Added two simple functions: _SoundTimeToMs() and _SoundMsToTime().

ludocus · March 24, 2008

huh..

das cool..

Eey kom je nog op msn.. (voeg ff chathond@hotmail.com toe das egt super cool!)

James · March 24, 2008

Nice work Kip

I can have a look at the wimm functions if you want?

Aassdd · March 25, 2008

I'd so love you if you'd do the pitch function

Bert · March 26, 2008

I assume this works just for XP, not for Vista. If it is ok with you, I like to add this to Audio.au3.

Edit: I've been testing, and see unless a sleep function is put in for the balance thing, it will revert right back. I like the speed thing you came up with.

I can confirm that is working perfectly with Vista, too. Pretty good jog kip

davecollinsnz · August 6, 2008

@kip Nice functions, I was looking for left right volume control.

I've been trying to use winmm.dll to detect bass but its slow (if any) progress.
