Is it possible to get and set audio volume controls with kotlin for mac, windows and/or linux.

I've seen a couple of open source project but don't really understand how they work. The goal is to make an application to remotely fine control my pc(windows) en laptop(mac book) volume, this will be linked to my phone(android) and Ipad(ios). The lateral isn't the big issue but the volume control on the os is. Let me know some suggestions or projects to check out, any help would be welcome.

Preferably in Kotlin 😉K

if you're writing for the JVM, maybe you can use javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem ? https://github.com/Kunagi/ilarkesto/blob/master/src/main/java/ilarkesto/media/Audio.java has an example

[maarten ha]

is there a way to also see the applications running on the device instead of only the audio IO’s?

I'm looking for the same..did you find anything?
Using audioSystem I can't control master volume..only mute/unmute

Been quite a while since I’ve looked into it but maybe there are some tools now available but not sure I didn’t find them at that time. Most things I found were C packages which were OS dependend so it was possible but you need to have the know how

That is exactly what I thought, did u try the example above? The one using only java? I tried a similar approach it yesterday but volume haven't change..

[maarten ha]

Not sure anymore 😅 been a couple years

[Roberto Fernandez Montero]

[Roberto Fernandez Montero]

I will try anyway

If it does't work seems like I would need to go with native approach

thanks!

[maarten ha]

Keep me posted. I’m interested in your findings

[Roberto Fernandez Montero]

[Roberto Fernandez Montero]

Nothing works sadly, so going to a native approach 🙂
