Re: App idea: Master Volume Control script for Win 7Date:
Sat, Jan 12, 2013 2:55:48 amDear Mike,
In response to your wish for a volume control for Windows 7, the easiest
solution is to get a multimedia keyboard, most of which have dedicated
volume up/down and mute buttons for the master volume...this is prety much a
must have for us blind guys, since it avoids the problems inherent in
software solutions for volume control.
However, having tinkered with such volume solutions myself for years, and
enjoying the power of the command-line from the days of DOS, you may be
interested in a utility which does a lot of things with volume control using
the command-line.. Here's the URL of this freeware utility:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
When I get the time, I'll get around to write an app which will do exactly
what you want, or, someone could do it pretty easily, if they have a bit
more time than I do. :)
I still say, though, the keyboard is the way to go. :)
Enjoy your weekend...
Cheers,
Rod Hutton :)

Subject: App idea: Master Volume Control script for Win 7
Here is an idea for a script that perhaps others besides myself might find
useful if someone could put it together.
I find the lack of a master volume control in Win 7 to be a nusiance more
than a blessing. I would welcome someone putting together an app that
would allow one to define a hotkey to raise and another hotkey to lower
the master volume.
If it were feasible, I would like to be able to define several preset
hotkeys which would allow to preset certain volume levels, ie, 20%, 40%,
60%, 80%, 100%, et al.
If something like this already exists, please point it out to me for I
don't want anyone to reinvent the wheel so to speak.
Thanks!
