Powershell - Change System Volume

[Andre]

Sometimes, when playing on the PC, I need to turn the volume down, but then forget to set it back to 100% again, hence I miss the TTS voice giving me notifications.

I am trying to adjust the PC volume back to 100 % through PowerShell, but although it works in PowerGUI, I can't get it working in OSA.
I thought it was a permission issue in Win 7 64-Bit, so set the OSA Service to run as an Administrator, but nothing.

Anyone have any ideas? (My garage door stood open the whole night )

I am using this in PowerGui successfully:

Code: Select all

Function Set-Speaker($Volume)
    {$wshShell = new-object -com wscript.shell;1..50 | % {$wshShell.SendKeys([char]174)};1..$Volume | % {$wshShell.SendKeys([char]175)}}

#Volume goes in increments of 2, so 50 is 100%
Set-Speaker -Volume 50

Have your tried any of the methods discussed here?

Thanks Automate, I had seen that page and tried a couple of the methods already, but I had seemingly glanced over the reference to NirCmd. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

I downloaded it and it works perfectly from Powershell within OSA.

Code: Select all

nircmd.exe setsysvolume 65535

It also does a bunch of other useful automation stuff.
