GetMasterVolume and Window 7

[GoldenEye]

Using the command print eg.WinApi.SoundMixer.GetMasterVolume() always returns 100.0 in Windows 7.

Is there an alternative way to get the current volume?

Thanks for your reply in advance.

Solution: You can get the current volume level by using the action ChangeMasterVolumeBy 0%:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1534">
    <Macro Name="Get current volume level" Expanded="True">
        <Action>
            System.ChangeMasterVolumeBy(0.0, 0)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            EventGhost.PythonCommand(u'print (int(round(eg.result,1)))')
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

I'm trying to get access to master volume in windows 7 from java but what i got so far is control over the application volume how can i get control over the master volume?

Here is my code so far:

try {
Mixer.Info[] infos = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
for (Mixer.Info info: infos)
{
Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(info);
if (mixer.isLineSupported(Port.Info.SPEAKER))
{
Port port = (Port)mixer.getLine(Port.Info.SPEAKER);
port.open();
if (port.isControlSupported(FloatControl.Type.VOLUME))
{
FloatControl volume = FloatControl)port.getControl(FloatControl.Type.VOLUME);
volume.setValue(volume.getValue() + (float)0.1);
}
port.close();
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
