Volume control in quicktime

I have a quicktime video in my director file. Is there a way
for the user to control the volume other than their computer volume
controls?
thanks

Take a look at this example, it should show what you need to

Adjust Quicktime Volume Control when the application starts

3Apr07
I have a problem streaming program. Microsoft stopped supporting Widows Media Player for the Mac.
Micosoft has a application FLIP4MAC-MWV which will either open a window in Safari or has the option of opening a window in Quicktime.
My problem is: The volume level in Quicktime is too high when the stream begins. I use Wiretap Pro to record radio streams while I am at work. The default high volume distorts the recording.
I have tried and tried again to change the default volume level to a middle level, but the stream starts at max volume. How do I change that?
I also have the same problem with the Safari window level.
Can anyone tell me how to adjust the default volume in Quicktime and Safari?
Thank you for reading this post and greater thanks for any recommendations.

Thank you for you help. I actually don't use Quicktime-formated files or steams. I used to use Windows Media Player until the Wiretap Pro custormer support recommended I use Flip4Mac WMV to convert Media Player streams to Quicktime compatible. However, the volume is too high.
I did try adjusting the Midi Sound controller. It did not have the effect when Quicktime starts-up.
Most of the time I record using Windows Media Player or Flip4Mac, I am not home to adjust the volume.
I will try adjusting the Midi control again. I wish Flip4Mac converted Media Player formated streams to Itunes. Wiretap pro works very well with itunes.

Quicktime volume control button

I am facing the following problem when importing an mp4 file as quicktime object on Director 12.0 (on Windows 7): I have Controls button checked so that the user can pause and play the video or control the volume. Althought everything works fine when i play the movie on the stage, when i publish it, in the .exe file the volume control button (and only this) doesn't function properly: the volume bar isn't displyed and so i cannot control the volume of the video. Any thoughts?

Hello Comi,
I just tried the same with a D12 projector on Windows 7 and the sound control button did not function.
The only solutions I can think of is to create a separate volume control button.
This statement sets the volume of the QuickTime movie playing in sprite channel 7 to 256, maximum volume.
sprite(7).volume = 256
I have a volume button sample .exe. Let me know if you want to check it out.
Peace,
jack

OS X 10.5.6: High RAM usage corrupts Audio Playback and Volume Control

Software Effected or Related:
iTunes 8.1, Quicktime 7.4, Adobe CS3
Description:
Basically any RAM intensive operation seems to corrupt the sound driver so that static is injected into the stream. In addition, volume control fails to function, with decrease of volume controls resulting in a louder more corrupted signal being sent to the speakers.
Attempted Fixes:
RAM swapped, no effect.
Permissions repaired, no effect.
PR Zapped, no effect.
Reinstalled OS, no effect.
Workaround:
It's in no way ideal, but once the corruption occurs, a reboot of the machine will restore function until the next RAM intensive operations causes the problem again. It's at best an annoying band aid.
Notes:
I'm not really expecting a solution, more as I want to find out if anyone else is having a similar issue to my own. If this system behavior sounds familiar, please reply and let me know about your system. This behavior only started for me when my company migrated to OS 10.5. A downgrade is not an option, due to software compatibility issues. Thanks for your attention.

I am having that exact same issue with my new MacBook Pro. I notice faint bursts of static like the audio is trying to break through and then it is lost all together. I trash my sound prefs (both Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and reboot which corrects it, but then it happens again within a few days (or hours)... what gives? What is corrupt and what file do I need to permanently replace? Do I need to call Apple about this on a new machine?

How do I get back the volume control in internet plugin

In Safari 4, when I play some items like the quicktime trailers from Apple's site, I see a volume control under the movie, and clicking it brings up the slider as expected. However in most other items Quicktime wants to play (e.g. an mp3 like http://www.husky-rescue.com/Resources/weshall_burnbright.mp3), I see the volume control button, but clicking it just mutes and un-mutes the volume. Furthermore, in Safari I am missing the little triangle on the right side of the controls to pull down the menu for saving the item, adjusting connection speed, etc. (I have QT Pro).
The controls appear and function as expected in Firefox and Opera, so this seems to be a Safari issue.
I have tried to enable and disable the plugins in various combos under /Library/Internet Plug-Ins to no avail. Anyone else seen this and anyone else have a workaround?

Yes, I am having the same problem. I have also seen other posts on the web about the issue. The only workaround appears to be using another browser. Surely Apple does not want to drive users to Firefox with this.

Front Row 1.2.1 No More Volume Control

Installed Front Row 1.2.1 on my iMac G5 iSight through Software Update, along with the other updates, and repaired permissions afterwards. The volume cannot be adjusted using the keyboard arrow keys or the Apple Remote. When + or - is pressed on the remote, the volume slider appears, but now the volume is on maximum, and cannot be adjusted. This is not limited to iTunes, it also occurred when playing QuickTime movies. The regular volume keys on the keyboard continue to adjust the main system volume, but we now lost the remote volume control. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Solved my own problem through troubleshooting. The HK SoundSticks were the problem. When I got the new iMac G5 iSight, they worked great. Somewhere along the lines, the HK's got confused and my sound preference pane said No settings for this output device.
Browing the discussion boards, this has been a known issue...but the cause is difficult to determine.
If I boot from my external FireWire, all is well. The internal iMac drive, problem. Something could have happened with the migration from my PowerBook to the iMac, or a system update caused trouble.
I tried the quick solution...changed USB ports. Problem solved. The balance control is back and Front Row can control the volume once again. Bizarre, isn't it?

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.

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 Kumar

Hi 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.

5.1 Option has vanished from Creative volume control...

I have Creative's 5800 5.1 speaker system, and creative volume control on my computer. Used to be, I could just select 5.1 in the creative volume control settings and there you have it. Magically this seems to have vanished from the Speaker/headphone selection options leaving me only with 4.1 and 7.1 as options. Any idea why or how I may get the 5.1 option back?

Managed to answer my own question if you install the creative console launcher version 2.60.29 it installs the volume panel as well and you can then install the newer version of the console launcher which will uninstall the older console launcher but leave the volume panel in place. i would say one thing though i'm surprised creative seem to have removed this usefull add-on (volume panel) installer from the newest creaitve console launcher install as i find it a far better volume control than windows and would think they would ship it with all versions of the console launcher not just the older one avaliable for [email protected]

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
Mike

paste the following into Applescrpt Editor (it's in /Applications/Utilities)

margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;

set curVolume to output volume of (get volume settings)
-- work out the new setting
if curVolume < 96 then
set newVolume to curVolume + 5
else
-- can't go over 100
set newVolume to 100
end if
-- and apply it
set volume output volume newVolume</pre>
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
<pre style="

title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters}
set curVolume to output volume of (get volume settings)
-- work out the new setting
if curVolume < 96 then
set newVolume to curVolume + 5
else
-- can't go over 100
set newVolume to 100
end if
-- and apply it
set volume output volume newVolume
end run</pre>
save the service, go to keyboard system preferences->keyboard shortcuts->services and make a shortcut for the service you just created.

DV9700 Volume Controls not working after motherboard replacement

I have a HP Pavilion DV9702ea, which I've had for just over two years now. It worked absolutely fine for me in every way since I got it until about one month ago when I installed some software that required me to restart Windows. The laptop shutdown but did not restart. I tried to switch it back on but it would not work - when I pressed the power button the power light would blink for perhaps half a second but that was it. After some internet searching I ascertained that this is a symptom of a common problem with these laptops and that it suggested that the GPU had failed, which meant I needed a new laptop.
So I ordered a new laptop using the model number shown on the sticker near the RAM ports. It arrived and I installed it. Now my laptop is fully working again - all except for the volume controls. On the control panel above the keyboard, all of the QuickPlay keys (Q, DVD, previous, Play/Pause, next and stop) are illuminated but the volume control keys (mute, - and +) are not. I have Windows Vista installed with the correct audio driver and it does not respond to me pressing these keys, so it's not just that they're not lit up, they're not working at all.
I've tried everything that I can think of to fix this - as far as I'm concerned it should not be a software issue, because these keys are supposed to be illuminated from power-on, so even without a hard drive or an operating system installed these keys should be lit up. Nevertheless I've tried making sure all the audio, QuickPlay, QuickLaunch and QuickTouch drivers are up to date and have tried alternate drivers for all of them. I've checked the cable leading from the motherboard to the controls - it appears to be intact, but I even ordered a replacement just in case and that has made no difference. I've extensively Googled the problem and the most promising fix that I could find (that is repeated on these forums several times) was to power off the laptop, remove the mains adapter and battery, hold the power button down for 30 seconds to discharge any static and then power on again. I've tried that a few times and it has not fixed the problem in my case.
So I'm at a loss now. My last resort will be to return the motherboard for a replacement, but that will obviously be a lot of hassle for me as I'll have to strip down the laptop to remove it and I'll be without a working laptop for a day or so. And then, if it's not a motherboard fault, I'll have put a lot of effort into not getting anywhere. So is there anything else I should try?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have this issue before, in my case, its ribbon cable issue. dv9000 have two ribbon cables the one that have broken is the long one, (connect mobo to switch panel). However there is other possibility that the switch panel also broken.
Try buying the ribbon cable first, it is much cheaper compared to switch panel.

My kid dropped my iPad 2 and the volume control on the side got jammed in and now everytime my ipad is on the volume icon in the middle of the screen will not go away. I can not move the switch on the side, it is jammed, is there a way to fix it?

My kids dropped my iPad and the volume control on the side got jammed in and it will not move, how can I fix this? Can it be pulled out to unstuck it. The glass got chipped right next to it, but it is not that noticible. Everything else works on the iPad, but the other problem is that I am past my 90 day warrenty and it will cost me $265.00 to have Apple fix it. Is there anyway I can save my iPad?

Your warranty is actually one year - the 90-days is only for free telephone support - but the warranty would not cover damage due to the iPad being dropped. I doubt there's anything you can do to fix the rocker, so you'll probably need to pay to get the iPad exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third party repair service).

How do you increase the voicemail volume on an iPhone 4s ( Verizon ). The phone volume is fine. It is when I retrieve voicemails. Even the speakerphone is faint. I have adjusted the side volume buttons and the volume control in settings.What am I missing?

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.
