Hi Kevin,

I know you meant what you said jokingly, and that's why I had to correct

Good Morning Señor,

Here's another set of steps that will supposedly work with Widows 10, I
haven't tried these myself with Widows 10 or 7:

From: Richard
I found this on the Microsoft Answer page from Googling the question.  I did
it and named it, creatively enough, volume, and assigned control+alt+v,
which
gets  you to the master volume control on my Windows 10 Home system.

Then, alt+x gets you to the mixer controls where you can adjust programs
separately, supposedly.

Here is what I found:

Yes,you can create a Master Volume Shortcut and also assign a Shortcut Key.

Right click on a empty area on desktop, and click on New and Shortcut.

Paste the following in to the location of the item area:-

%windir%\System32\SndVol.exe -f 49825268

Click Next button and give a name to the Shortcut and click Finish.

Now You right click on it and select Properties.

Click Shortcut tab.

Assign your desired shortcut key like F8 or F9 in the Shortcut Key area.

Click OK/Apply.

HTH,
Richard

Hi Fernando,

To be honest I don't use any keystrokes for controlling volume.  I run 2

sound override problems.  I should have tested the steps I posted, but
assuming they would work correctly if assigned was a poor assumption from

Hi net bat66 and Mike,

Does this procedure works when using Eloquence? In current JAWS versions
there is no Volume slider when setting a voice profile with Eloquence,
unlike with other synths like SAPI 5 or any Vocalizer variant.
As I remember from older JAWS versions, this control when using Eloquence
was simply a read-only edit box which said “Use your system's volume.”

Hi Fernando, Net bat, & List Members,

Okay I just tried assigning keystrokes to, increase / decrease system volume
and increase / decrease voice volume, without success.  When invoking the
assigned keystrokes the audio states it's doing the assigned task, but in
reality ain't a damn thing happenin!  LOL  LOL

So in short, with my testing anyways, if you want to hear your assigned
keystrokes increase / decrease percentages announced audibly by JAWS, that's
exactly what you'll get, audible announcements, but the volume doesn't
change for either system sounds or JAWS volume.  This was running Widows 7
with JAWS 16 thru 2018.

Hi net bat66 and Mike,

Does this procedure works when using Eloquence? In current JAWS versions 
there
is no Volume slider when setting a voice profile with Eloquence, unlike with
other synths like SAPI 5 or any Vocalizer variant.
As I remember from older JAWS versions, this control when using Eloquence 
was
simply a read-only edit box which said “Use your system's volume.”

Thanks in advance!

Hi Richard,



I got one better than your way to create a shortcut.

All you have to do both in Windows 7 or Windows 10 is bring up either the 
run
command with Windows Key+R or simply the search box with the Windows key.

Now type sndvol and press enter and bingo, you are on the volume control.

I have read you can add a -f flag, e.g. sndvol -f to bring u p the master
volume directly but I found that even just sndvol will do this.

Here is the Jaws speech history as to what this sounds like, first without 
and
then with the -f switch, I am using just the Windows key/Cortana search box 
and
not the run command, note that the Jaws speech history gives you the result
after you type every letter of “sndvol”, if you type it fast you never hear
most of that, but I left it in just to show it:



Cortana

S, Search box edit

Sn, Snipping Tool, Desktop app

snd, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndv, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndvo, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndvol, Run command – this is where I pressed enter

Volume Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) dialog

Speakers

Speakers

up down slider

83 – I am now pressing the down arrow several times and again the up arrow

82 percent

81 percent

80 percent

81 percent

82 percent

83 percent



Now here is what it sounds like with the -f switch added after SndVol, I 
left
out all the suggestions which come up after each letter and go straight to 
the
final one:

Cortana

sndvol -f, Run command

dialog

up down slider

83

82 percent

Hi Fernando, Net bat, & List Members,

Okay I just tried assigning keystrokes to, increase / decrease system volume
and increase / decrease voice volume, without success.  When invoking the
assigned keystrokes the audio states it's doing the assigned task, but in
reality ain't a damn thing happenin!  LOL  LOL

So in short, with my testing anyways, if you want to hear your assigned
keystrokes increase / decrease percentages announced audibly by JAWS, that's
exactly what you'll get, audible announcements, but the volume doesn't
change for either system sounds or JAWS volume.  This was running Widows 7
with JAWS 16 thru 2018.

Hi Fernando,

To be honest I don't use any keystrokes for controlling volume.  I run 2
soundcards, 1 for system sounds & 1 for Jaws.  This way I don't run into
sound override problems.  I should have tested the steps I posted, but
assuming they would work correctly if assigned was a poor assumption from
what Net bat states.  On second thought, when I get some time I'll play
around since Net bat is running Widows 10, and I'm running Widows 7, to see
if volume keystroke assignment might work differently with Widows 7.

It appears to me that this will only work with Windows 10,
with the latest version of Jaws using it's Audio-Ducking feature, or an 
additional sound device.
I haven't tested it so I can't say for sure.

Only difference seems to be that adding the -f switch doesn’t verbalize 
Volume
Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) dialog, Speakers, Speakers 
and
instead it says right away the volume percentage.

You could of course create a shortcut with “sndvol” or “sndvol -f” but I
personally find pressing the Windows key and typing sndvol is just about as
fast as pressing Control+Alt+V or whatever 

Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing JAWS' volume

[David Ferrin]

Success on your directions Mike VIA Richards' original posting. I knew the 
command for a number of years how to bring up the volume control, how ever I 
was not aware of the switches or arguments after the command that obviously 
are available.


Since I use multiple sound cards, 3 on this system to be exact it brought 
them up and I could tab around to them quite easily.

That Richard is such a clever guy, LOL. Thanks for this, I will try it out

already is because I have been using a program called power mixer for

Mostly I use it for adjusting the volume for JAWS but it does other things

Hi Fernando,

To be honest I don't use any keystrokes for controlling volume.  I run 2
soundcards, 1 for system sounds & 1 for Jaws.  This way I don't run into
sound override problems.  I should have tested the steps I posted, but
assuming they would work correctly if assigned was a poor assumption from
what Net bat states.  On second thought, when I get some time I'll play
around since Net bat is running Widows 10, and I'm running Widows 7, to see
if volume keystroke assignment might work differently with Widows 7.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hi net bat66 and Mike,

Does this procedure works when using Eloquence? In current JAWS versions
there is no Volume slider when setting a voice profile with Eloquence,
unlike with other synths like SAPI 5 or any Vocalizer variant.
As I remember from older JAWS versions, this control when using Eloquence
was simply a read-only edit box which said “Use your system's volume.”

Thanks in advance!

1. Open Keyboard Manager without any applications / programs open to make

Manager highlighted, & press enter.  If you don't have, Default, highlighted
when opening the keyboard manager press the letter, D, until you do.

2. Find the following to assign keystrokes to them:

Hi Richard,



I got one better than your way to create a shortcut.

All you have to do both in Windows 7 or Windows 10 is bring up either the

Now type sndvol and press enter and bingo, you are on the volume control.

I have read you can add a -f flag, e.g. sndvol -f to bring u p the master
volume directly but I found that even just sndvol will do this.

Here is the Jaws speech history as to what this sounds like, first without

box and not the run command, note that the Jaws speech history gives you the
result after you type every letter of “sndvol”, if you type it fast you
never hear most of that, but I left it in just to show it:
