Read current audio volume setting

[Ruddles]

Hi Everyone,

I know how to change the audio volume level setting using VBA by sending the VK_VOLUME_UP and VK_VOLUME_DOWN codes to the virtual keyboard, but my code also needs to know what the actual level is.

I've been trying to persuade The Google to tell me but haven't even got as far as having some code to try out. I guess if I could find out where the audio volume level setting is stored in the Windows 11 Registry, that would be a good start... but no joy so far.

Does anyone know how read the audio volume level setting? Or just point me to the place in the Registry where it's stored?

Thanks in advance,
R.

did you see this: Sending and receivind ADC coefficients from/to soundcard in VBA for Excel 2010

I have to go now so can't review the code in depth but it looks like variables are declared for the volume level (volume). A lot of that is for a form and its controls, so maybe you can extract something that will work for you. Or just build the form and play and see what you get.

Funnily enough, I just posted some code 2 days ago which among other things, allows for reading the volume level of the default system audio.

The CAudio class offers this GetVol Method that returns the audio volume level in the range from 0.0 and 1.0... Multiply it by 100 to get the audio volume displayed in the UI.
