Playing with Mixer Device

[wiredbits]

hi

I needed a routine that would select input line and after searching I found the mixer device API calls which suited my needs,. for fun I also did a set volume routine.

Most of the info came from :

http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/mixer.htm

and of course

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....troldetails.asp

Since I have two sound cards im my system I wrote the routines to handle mulitible mixer devices. You will need the latest betta to run and both routines need the include file.

MXSelectInputSrc_include.au3

MXSelectInputSrc.au3

MXVolume.au3

Good job

[wiredbits]

Good job

Thanks

It was fun and gives me a starting place in case i want to use more than just two controls, plus i like watching the mixer change while i play with its widgets...

Code could be cleaned up, I need to write a routine that grabs defines in a .h file and converts them to Autoit format. Would make life easier for me, hmmm maybe then go back and scan autoit code and make another file with only defines used.

Thought this was worth putting here being 99% of the code is wiredbits

I'm going to guess your talking about wiredbits who post this several months ago.

No, no need to complicate a simple au3 file by zipping it.

Just save the Mixer.au3 to a folder.

Create another au3 file in that folder and copy/paste the code above and run.

but when I click it it did nothing what verison did you use thanks beau

[GaryFrost]

ok I made two file one is mixer.au3

the i put this in mixer1.au3

but when I click it it did nothing what verison did you use thanks beau

I use release and/or beta both work.

But to see the console writes you'll need to use and IDE like SciTE for AutoIt, look in my signature for link.

[Fossil Rock]

#include <Mixer.au3>

Try changing this (if the file is in the same directory as the script).

#include "Mixer.au3"

#include "Mixer.au3"

doesn't matter which way it's put, but usually when I do non-standard udfs I use the quotes

I was under the impression that the "???.au3" looked in the directory where the script is located and the <???.au3> looked in the \include directory of where Autoit is installed.

try it and you'll see it works, I don't remember exactly what Valik stated about it, but I know it works either way.

Well done, it works good

Any way to:

- set recording volume of an input device;

- select microphone as active input device (without using wiredbits GUI);

?

try exchanging the _Get's for _Set's

[masvil]

try exchanging the _Get's for _Set's

Your _SetMixerVolume($MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_SRC_MICROPHONE, $percent) affects playback output volume, not the input registration volume.

Edited:

As explained here: http://www.codeproject.com/audio/volctrl.a...2866#xx852866xx

What I'm asking for can't be done.

Edited:

Volumeline does the job very good (thanx to Schindi for the nice find)

Can we have some more simple examples on using yours/WiredBits Mixer UDF, Mr Frosty please?

Like toggling between Mic and Stereo Mix in the record panel?

many Thanks!
