Parliant Phone Valet volume control script
I have been using Phone Valet for several weeks and love it. One of the cool features is an Applescript which fades out the volume on iTunes whenever I am on the line. Unfortunately, I use internet radio a lot, and the mute doesn't work there. Parliant has a sample template for creating new scripts:
on handlehookstatus(isOffhook, lineName, numLinesOffhook)
-- place your AppleScript here --
end handlehookstatus
which I have used to successfully mute the system, but the volume stays muted when I hang up the phone. I am looking for help on a script that would read the current volume and mute the system when the phone was active, then return the system to its original volume when the phone was inactive. Parliant's website has sample scripts, but none will do what I'm looking for. This is beyond my skill set, and any help would be appreciated.

Alas, no luck.. But scrolling up from 'muted' should have the same effect as middle-clicking, at least I assume both actions activate the same unmute function somewhere in the code..
EDIT: For now I'm going to use volwheel. But.. please don't hesitate if you know the answer bacause I like xfce4-mixer's simplicity.

With the included scripts in Mainstage, I was surprised not to find one for controlling iTunes volume.
This would allow me to mix the iTunes volume from the Axiom 61 sliders while in Mainstage fullscreen.
Does anyone know of an AppleScript for this purpose?
Thanks in advanceWell, I hope someone can find a solution to my issue. (itunes sound volume using sliders)
Thanks for your input guys.
My knowledge of Applescript is very basic, however, I did find a script for changing the itunes sound volume using buttons.
One button increases and the next button decreases the sound volume a little bit at a time.
Here are the scripts. I modified one I found online. There may be some unnecessary lines.
on action(parameter)
tell application "iTunes"
if the sound volume is less than 95 then
set sound volume to (sound volume + 5)
else
set sound volume to 0
end if
end tell
end action
and to decrease use the one below.
on action(parameter)
tell application "iTunes"
if the sound volume is greater than 5 then
set sound volume to (sound volume - 5)
else
set sound volume to 0
end if
end tell
end action
A script for changing the itunes sound volume in Mainstage using a slider from my Axiom 61 is still what I'm after.
Anybody?? -
Why doesn't the volume control settings allow a greater range (on the low end)?
Maybe my ears are really sensitive, but for every iphone I've had, the lowest volume is not low enough. My phone is often louder than I want in my headphones even at the lowest setting. I find myself trying to lower the volume but ending up in silence. After putting it back up to the lowest setting, I end up clicking down again a few minutes later because it's too loud for my surroundings and situation. It's a huge volume jump from the lowest setting to completely off, and alot of times the lowest setting is too loud (even with normal buds or headphones).
The volume limiter setting only limits the upper end, but doesn't change the lower end (just makes the 16 set increments smaller in that reduced range). I know there is also an option to turn down the volume of individual songs in iTunes options, but this problem applies to all aspects of the iphone beyond just my music library (Music apps, Videos, etc.).
Why hasn't apple expanded the lower volume limits? There has to be a way, or is this not possible? Can anybody think of a way to fix this problem?Meg St._Clair wrote:
Look for headsets with a volume control.
I did exactly this for awhile. I used to have Skullcandy Asyms with the inline volume attenuator (wheel). They've since discontinued them, and my 5 pairs are having wire connectivity issues. All their current models have iphone like volume mechanisms. The problem is most headphones with volume controls tap into the phones own volume control (so the set 16 volume increments). I also looked into using a dongle attenuator, but having the dongle hanging off the phone is just awkward and not easily adjustable.
I don't know why there can't be some form of internal attenuator option, or some other way of extending the lower range of volume.
Does anyone else have this problem of the iPhone being too loud in semi-quiet environments? -
Keyboard Button Volume Control with PulseAudio
Does the Volume Control script in the PulseAudio Arch wiki work with the volume control buttons on my keyboard?
If not, is there a way to get my volume up, volume down, and mute dedicated keys on my keyboard to work?
Thank you in advance! :-)lexan wrote:Does the Volume Control script in the PulseAudio Arch wiki work with the volume control buttons on my keyboard?
I guess you'll have to try it and see.
If not, you can try xbindkeys. -
I have a complaint about my Droid X, but I need to ask a question before I start complaining.
Is there a way to control all volume at the same time? For example, my previous phone had volume control that went from audible to vibrate to silent, and it affected ALL alerts on the phone, e.g. ringer, text message, alarm, calendar, etc.
Does the Droid X have this? Thanks for help in advance.Thanks for the help. However, the solution you specified did not help as I had hoped. Here's what I found.
- If an alarm's "vibrate" property is unchecked, it will not vibrate when the alarm sounds, even with this solution and the ringer set to vibrate
- A calendar alert does not vibrate with this solution. It may have done an initial vibration that I may have missed, but it did not continue to vibrate to alert me
- The same issue as the calendar occurred for email: if there was a vibrate alert, it was only a short one, and not enough to alert me.
In my previous phones, when the phone was set to vibrate, all alerts would become vibrations, and they would continue to alert until they timed out or I interacted with the phone in some way. I would like to see this functionality in Droid X.
It could be useful to have different volume settings for each kind of alert as the Droid X has, but I desire having a master volume switch that affects all alerts. I don't want to have to go through more than one process to make my phone audible or vibrate or be silent.
Does this explain my request more clearly? Is there anything else that the phone currently has that does what I'm describing? -
Need Volume Control API's for windows phone 8.1
Hi,
I'm developing a windows phone 8.1 app in which volume need to control. To do this I'm not getting API's to perform this operation, so can any one help to develop this app. if not please post some suggestions why this is not possible.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naresh KumarHi NareshKumar,
Volume control always needed by play some media stuff, could you please tell us why and where do you need the volume control.
Basically as I know if we play the sound by MediaElement, it has a
Volume property, or what kind of media play control are you using?
Indeed, there is no API that can directly control the system volume, only user can manage that.

How do I increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon )? The phone volume is fine. I have adjusted both side volume buttons as well as the volume control in settings.
Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty. Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4. -

My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix
My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix thankyou
Try force closing the Photos and Maps apps, then resetting your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Photos in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it. Now locate Maps and tap to close it as well, finish by tapping the home button. Now reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until your see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release. See if that clears things up.

One day I relalized that the silent/ringer switch on my iPhone 4 stopped working. My phone is permently silent and I can't turn the ringer on. The speakers still work so they aren't the problem. Also, the volume controls on the side don't work either. Is this problem fixable or do I need to get a new phone?
you can try the restore first to make sure it is nothing software related. makesure to back up information and restore as new. after that it is hardware if your with in the limited hardware warranty and can be replaced for free if you are not then it can be replaced for 149$ if it is a iphone 4 or lower

Unable to use volume control ipod itouch 5.1.1
hello,
itouch didn't have a problem with volume slider until recently. through other websites, i have since located the volume slider in music playing mode by double tapping the home button and scrolling to the left but it lacks any button to scroll to increase the volume. music plays well via a sound dock but that has it's own volume controls. sometimes when docking it plays through the handset speakers until seated correctly so i know the internal speakers do work.
any light on the matter would be very much appreciated!!!I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was having the same problem as you. Although you say the camera playback is set properly, please recheck this. go into your camera's playback menu>menu>standard set>VCR HDV/DV. Unplug your firewire from the camera. Make sure camera is set to HDV NOT auto. replace firewire cable. Now open FCP. Go in Audio/video settings>A/V devices (farthest tab on right). In box for playback edit to tape different from video output (make sure it's checked) mirrored (checked) Video playback 1080i50, Audio HDV. I hope that works now.

How can I set up a custom keyboard shortcut for volume control?
Hi all,
I use my black MacBook at work, connected to an external monitor and external keyboard. I'm looking for a way to set up the F buttons on my external keyboard as volume control, just as they do on my laptop keyboard. Looking for F3 to F5 to be volume mute, down, and up, respectively.
I tried going into Keyboard Shortcuts in System Preferences but since there is no menu item for volume control I can't seem to add it. Anyone know how I can go about doing this or what I'm missing?
Thanks

this script will increase volume by 5 (out of 100) any time you run it. you can adjust this of course. save the script somewhere.
You can use a 3rd part app launcher to bind a keyboard shortcut to it. I use Butler. there are many others: Quicksilver, ikeys, quickeys, Spark, Launchbar.
this will work the fastest.
If you don't want to use 3rd party tools for this you can make a service using automator but that might be a bit slower than the first option. open automator. it will give you a pulldown screen wiuth the choice of what you want to make. choose "service". set it to receive no input and be available in all applications. add the following "run apple script" action to the service

I have a black 16 GB iPhone 4S with Telus Mobility in Canada, with the newest iOS version (as of right now I'm running iOS 6.1.2). When I first got my iPhone in January 2012 it had the ability to create a personal hotspot for sharing my data with other devices.
I changed my Telus rate plan in early February and didn't immediately notice anything. However, last night I noticed that my 4S no longer has a personal hotspot feature in the Settings app. My friend has an iPhone 4S on Rogers Wireless and he still has a personal hotspot feature, as does my friend on Telus with an iPhone 5.
Does anybody know or have any idea why my iPhone 4S no longer gives me the option to use my iPhone as a personal hotspot? Thanks!
