That one only works in Vista and Win 7.

The constants are already defined in win32.mmsystem, but I don't think the APIs themselves are. That means falling back to ctypes. This C++ example is closer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1042423/how-do-i-get-the-mic-volume-of-all-audio-cards-in-windows-xp-using-c You'll call mixerOpen for your waveIn device (probably #0), call mixerGetLineInfo to make sure it's a microphone, then enumerate the controls to find the mute, and mixerSetControlDetails to clear the mute state. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
