There is an Arexx program in Aminet called mmvolume that controls volume. But it doesn't seem to worik on AROS. But perhaps something similar might be helpful.AROS and Arexx do not sound good together... :-(
There is an Arexx program in Aminet called mmvolume that controls volume. But it doesn't seem to worik on AROS. But perhaps something similar might be helpful.Tested it right now on Icaros Desktop and, as you told me, it does not work. I get this output from RX command:
and we don't have such a commodity on AROS i386, AFAIK.The Mixer commodity has to be running for the controls to work, though it doesn't have to be visible.
I understand what you are looking for. Would be a great thing to have for AROS.You have centered the point. Either in AmiStart or in BoingIconBar or in the title bar... A gadget which would allow changing the damn sound volume on the fly is something I've been missing for too long, on AROS.
It would be nice to see and have some stuff like online, offline, master volume controll etc. in title bar or something.
BSzili: That would be fantastic :)Even without taking pieces from Mplayer, we have the AHI preference program which can control volume. Just taking only the part which control the volume for the four units, and let it change the volume for all 4 together with a single slider, would be enough. I've even proposed a C command to do exactly the same thing, I'd have worked on a LUA GUI if necessary with the slider and the mute button alone. You are right it should be part of wanderer, however I'd prefer a separed solution so it would be usable with Magellan, Scalos, etc too.
You know a program like MPlayer got volume controll that is working with AROS.
Could not that part be made part of AROS and make some kind of volume slider.
It should be part of Wanderer. Every OS has something like this.
In Wanderer prefs, options, make some box to select or unselect volume controll in Titlebar.
At least that is what I would like to see.
The original request was about a cli command, which I'll try to make. If somebody else wants to create a GUI for it, they can.Great!
Thank you both! I am looking forward for it!The original request was about a cli command, which I'll try to make. If somebody else wants to create a GUI for it, they can.Great!

Would this be portable to AROS?This commodity has an interface for ReAction (need to rewrite for MUI/Zune), ARexx support (have to throw away arexx.c, arexx.h) and then a personal hell begins for each card. I don't think it will appear for AROS anytime soon. The quest is interesting, but it will take a lot of time. ::)

Supports emu10kx, fm801, sb128, cmi8738, cs4281, Aureon 5.1 sky, M-Audio Revolution 5.1, ess1938/solo-1 chips, and A1-XE onboard sound (VIA686B) if you have the AC'97 codec chip onboard.The problem is that it isn't something universal, systemic. it's such a branched crutch.
Has any progress been made on this? I'd much like to be able to adjust the volume globally instead of per-unit.
What means: the GUI is ready? How does it look, where can you see it?Has any progress been made on this? I'd much like to be able to adjust the volume globally instead of per-unit.As I've said: the GUI is ready. The command that's supposed to do the job, not. I'm sorry.

There the problem is that each sound card is processed individually (although unified).
My point is that if AHI can have a single slider for master volume, even if this setting comes from different modules for each sound cardMy point is that:
for (Channel = 0; Channel < 6; Channel += 1)
{
Volume(Channel, Percentage);
}
closes this question. The Volume function () can be viewed in sb128_ctrl.cwe can also have a CLI command doing exactly the same thing.It's not difficult to make a CLI command from the code above.
And re-use of open source code should be encouraged by its openess itself.Unfortunately I don't have a similar code for setting the volume in AHI, there is only open source code going into specific sound card and doing it there.
I am ready to release my LUA GUI with any open license if necessary.In any case, it's more convenient than FKey.

3. The volume should grow to maximumWrite about the results here.This doesn't work.
I don't understand how AHI works, this is the "scientific poke" method.
In my defense I tried too back in... was it two years ago? Gosh. I'm still having nightmares about iffparse.library.Write about the results here.This doesn't work.

:D :D
Well, at least you tried! :-)
I am really happy you've tried to help me, thank you! Unluckily setvolume is not working as expected. :-|
I tried changing volume while madahi and mplayer were playing a MP3 file without success, its volume didn't change.
@paolone
Did you get you volume adjustments utility in c: yet?
@paolone
Where is the driver located? Binary or sources?
I assume it is for 32bit and for VMWare.
I'm using VirtualBox. I haven't tried HD Audio.
Is the sound utility app connected to your nice volume adjust gui? I like the simplicity of it. And I like the idea of a Titlebar gadget for sound.
I can do some testing.
@paolone
If you think of it we already use Titlebar Gadgets even if we don't realize it. There are two defined areas: System Gadgets and Gadget Strings on the Left Side with the AROS System Graphic and User Gadgets and Gadget Strings such as Date & Time on the Right. The Depth Gadget is part of Standard Gadgets like Window Gadgets.
I envision a more modern full featured set of User Gadgets much like Mac OS X or like perhaps Linux.
If we make GadgetMenu a seperate app and copy it to WBStartup or in startup-sequence then double click on the Titlebar could activate the menu. I like that idea. No Prefs required. And I like the idea of a Sound Gadget in the Titlebar.
I'll demonstrate this in another thread. Thanks for your time.
Have a good day! :-)
