I'm looking for a way to use python to change the volume on windows.
After some googling the best I could come up with was this script I
got from a relatively ancient entry on this mailing list (I think it
was from 2005 or something). I'm using windows 7, and I would like it
to work on windows 8 if possible, though its not necessary. I don't
need to support any previous versions of windows.
To which Tim Roberts replied:
Alas, the news is not good.
I think that comtypes (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/comtypes) can deal with
early binding interfaces?
You are quite right, and the attached script does it. NOTE! that I have
not correctly defined all of the IMM interfaces for the general case;
I've only created enough of them to make this particular example work.
On my Win 7 machine, this is able to fetch the default endpoint, display
the volume range (from -65.25 to 0 in steps of 0.75) and change the setting.
I'm glad you brought this up. I've never played with comtypes before,
and this was a revealing exercise.
