SoundTool Playback Devices Mute Status (Auto Unmute if Muted)

[TreatJ]

It has been a minute since I have uploaded one of my scripts. This is a very simple one!

In a nutshell this program opens the MS Sound Window,  Selects a Playback Device and

Check its Mute status.  If it finds that it is Muted then the appropriate Button is clicked

on to UnMute it.   That's it!   If you want the Program to check and UnMute (if needed)

ALL of the Playback Devices in the list then use a For/Next Loop. I have made that very

simple to implement within my script.   Just open it up to see what I am talking about,

I used Windows 11 NotePad  v11.2410.21.0 / Font: Consolas / Regular / 12   as an Editor.

I am somewhat "OCD" when it comes to lining up my script. I also find it easier to read

when I look at my code sometime later!  Having it line up helps me to read it better.

Anyway, Script is attached.... Any feedback would be much appreciated...

My desktop is Windows 11 v24H2 Korean version. After a couple of localization changes, I was thinking of doing something similar for my zPlayer.

ControlCommand($CWHandle, "", "SysTabControl321", "TabRight")
changed to:
$tabHandle = ControlGetHandle($CWHandle, "", 12320)
ControlClick($CWHandle, "", $tabHandle, "left", 1, 25 + ($TabsLoop - 1) * 50, 12)

If $IconBnTx = "&Mute" Then
changed to:
If $IconBnTx = "음소거(&M)" Then

Thanks for your feedback! I can see that you are a much better coder then me

Anyway I do have a few questions....

ControlCommand($CWHandle, "", "SysTabControl321", "TabRight")
changed to:
$tabHandle = ControlGetHandle($CWHandle, "", 12320)
ControlClick($CWHandle, "", $tabHandle, "left", 1, 25 + ($TabsLoop - 1) * 50, 12)

If $IconBnTx = "&Mute" Then
changed to:
If $IconBnTx = "음소거(&M)" Then

1. From what I understand per  AutoIt Help... ControlGetHandle returns:  the handle (HWND) value

So I don't understand how $tabHandle  can be used as a controlID number in ControlClick 2.  I don't fully understand how you are calculating the X/Y position (25 + ($TabsLoop - 1) * 50, 12) 3.  If $IconBnTx = "&Mute" Then         changed to:        If $IconBnTx = "음소거(&M)" Then Here I am guessing that your change to my code has something do with Version of Windows that you are using. Again THANKS for you feedback...

$CWHandle is a window handle and $tabHandle is the handle of the tab control. ControlClick() requires both.

It would be better to use a control handle if it is easy to get and is applicable worldwide. I used AutoIt v3 Info Tool (Au3Info.exe in AutoIt installation folder) to find the coordinates of tabs.

Yes, you are right.

Please refer to the following link for another post of mine. This code does the same thing as your code does and more. _MasterVolume() function takes approximately 10 milliseconds for each cycle.
