Volume control - any device

[completelyhis]

My set up is the default (4/5=front, 6/7=rear). When I send the command:

&hs.launch "C:\Program Files\HomeSeer 2\SuperMixer.exe", "Control:4 SetMuten"

I get an error: "could not connect to / find specified mixer device. When I click ok, it puts up the error: "object reference not set to an instance of an object."

it does that regardless of If I do 4, 5, 6, or 7, and also regardless of the command.

Then my system bogged down, giving me a .net error for the mixer prog. Here's the text from that:

I don't know if this is just because I was messing around with command lines, trying to identify the speakers, or what. I'm going to reboot and keep trying later.
Thanks,

Maybe I didn't interpret the routing info correctly. when I click the routing, it shows Wave and ac-3/3-d as options. I assume I want the wave. Is that correct?

If I click the plus on the wave, it shows wave 0/1, wave 4/5, wave 6/7 and wave 8/9, with various numbers to the right.

I read the help and it told me the information I listed previously as "default."

So, to control it, would I say control:4 or control:5 (to do independant r/l) or would I use a name (like "front") I've tried using the numbers and it doesn't seem to work, so I figure I'm either using the wrong name/#, or it I need to adjust settings in the routing?

Thanks,
Ian

You lost me... what "plus on the wav"?

Find the device you want to control on the interactive screen. Look for where it says "device index" then a number. That's the simplest way to specify what device you want to control. Almost all audio generated by the computer is going to be through the WAV channel.

So assuming that the device index was 2:

Supermixer DeviceNum:2 ControlName:"Wav" Channel:Left SetLevel:50

would set the left channel level to 50% for device index 2's WAV input.

Jon,
First, I appologize for just not getting it. I seem to be slow lately...maybe I'm trying to learn too much too quick with a bunch of things all at once. Anyway, in my efforts to get this to work, here is what I've come up with:

Here is how I have 4 speakers connected:

Front Left = Bathroom
Front Right = Master Bedroom
Rear Left = Dining Room
Rear Right = Boys Room

Here is a list of devices that show up on the Interactive Interface


kx wave ct4832 10k1 (c000) 0/1 device 1
kx wave ct4832 10k1 (c000) 2/3 device 2 HiPhone (HS)
kx wave ct4832 10k1 (c000) 4/5 device 3
kx wave ct4832 10k1 (c000) 6/7 device 4
kx wave ct4832 10k1 (c000) 8/9 device 5


Here are various commands that I have found will control mute function globally on all 4:
&hs.launch "C:\Program Files\HomeSeer 2\SuperMixer.exe", "DeviceName:0/1 SetMute:Off"
&hs.launch "C:\Program Files\HomeSeer 2\SuperMixer.exe", "DeviceName:4/5 SetMute:On"
&hs.launch "C:\Program Files\HomeSeer 2\SuperMixer.exe", "DeviceNum:3 SetMute:On"

Some of the above only mute when after I click on on an error message, ususally it says I typed the wrong thing (I forget the exact wording)

The sample you provided earlier, w/the "wave" option, doesn't affect the sliders on the KX at all, I tried it on DeviceNum:1,3,4,5,6,7 - none of them worked.

&hs.launch "C:\Program Files\HomeSeer 2\SuperMixer.exe", "DeviceNum:1 ControlName:"Wav" Channel:Left SetLevel:50

I feel like I'm going in the right direction. It used to be that I could only get the front R/L to work, but I was able to "turn up" the rear channels, albiet, manually.

Thanks for this prog...sorry I'm such a dunce!!!

fThe master volume control is common for all kx devices as mentioned in a previous post. Since all the commands you listed change the master channel on a kx device all the kx devices will be muted.

You usually need quotes around the names of devices which can get complex when you are using an HS function call. Use the device index to make it easy.

&hs.launch "C:\Program Files\HomeSeer 2\SuperMixer.exe", "DeviceNum:3 Channel:2 SetMute:On"

would

channel:2

or

channel:1

be the same as left or right?

Jon,

Thanks so much for sharing this... it works wonderfully...

Just a note:

You may want to change the command line help screen a bit..

When you try "SuperMixer Mute:ON"... it doesn't seem to work...

When you try "Supermixer SetMute:On" it works as one would expect.

The Command Line Help screen seems to have "Mute" instead of "SetMute" in one of the examples.

Thanks again for this

gosh i feel like an idiot! I have to say, I'm about to give up. I know it is user error, so please, don't think I'm complaining. I just can't seem to get it. I decided to try w/ manual control. When I open the kx program I can control each speaker individually by adjusting volume on front left/right, rear left/right. when I open the supermixer, if I adjust "master mix" on any device index, it affects all the others (global). If I adjust something else, like "wave" or "cd" it is not global, but it also has no impact on the volume output on front r/l or rear r/l

don't know if it makes a difference, but I've been testing with a cd playing via wmp.

my guess is that I need to config something, maybe in kx, because the breakdown seems to be between kx and supermix.

Jon,Sorry to bring up an old thread...but I have a new use for this.I have 9 USB sound cards that I am now using (had to dump the Soundblaster, as I needed the PCI slot).

I've been playing with programatically changing Winamp's default device. However, they track by number. Windows Tracks by name.This explains why all of my Speaker Apps are always pointing at the proper sound card.

I was able to (with Gog's help) figure out how to rename all my sound cards. SO, now the Windows name PROPERLY tracks the proper sound card, even after a reboot. HOWEVER, Windows STILL changes the device order. SO, my speaker apps all are talking to the correct sound card, but my Winamps get goofed. This is because Winamp tracks based on device number.So, I'd like to know if you could modify this to output all the devices to an INI file.
Something like:
supermixer dumpNames "directory"
Then in the ini, I could pull the "names" based on device number
[deviceNames]
1=Kitchen
2=Basement
etc.I just need an easy way, upon starting HS to get all the names from the "order" in which Windows puts them
Program has been working great!
Thanks!
