Add support for VOICEMEETER

[irzyxa]

Hello,
after many years!
There is a solution to change volume of VOICEMEETER POTATO?
I mean with mouse wheel as actually volume 2 do?
My computer has default device VOICEMEETER VAIO3
and to change volume the only solution i have found is
Audio device: Altoparlanti Realtek
(see picture attached)

Motivation?
When i have several audio devices i cannot change global volume but with VOICEMEETER VAIO 3 yes, but it is not compatible as default device with Volume 2.
Thanks for your work.

@donatopace let's discus what should be done here and I would like to see your configuration. Could you record short video how you use Voicemeter?

[irzyxa]

What settings do you have here:

@donatopace please add images to GitHub and not email

I need change this Volume of Voicemeeter.
HOOK?

[donatopace]

Hello,
any news?
I want to buy these extra
Thanks.

[irzyxa]

It is not question related to money. I have to learn a new API, probably code a new library and only then try to implement feature in Volume2 project. And it is not my main project, it is pet project and I spend only couple of hours a week for it.

[donatopace]

ok,
how many months do you think it will take?
I would already like to thank you for the effort.

Can I send you another €30.00 immediately via PAYPAL?

Thank you.

Hello,
i found API for Voicemeeter:

[irzyxa]

@donatopace Yes, it is one of ways. I also found out that vban protocol can be used for this.

@donatopace here is the first prototype:

Wow, you have made good job! I have found only two little bug: 1) if i move volume slider on VAIO3 mixer over 0dB and then use mouse wheel on tray the slider on VAIO3 mixer go down to -60dB immediately if volume slider on VAIO3 mixer is 0dB or below all works well 2) Every time i change a value under "Volume2 options" and go to "Apply" the icon on systray change and i need to change again on "OSD" to my prefered value that is "tracktor Blue 16px 24px 32px" I have made another donation to you Il giorno mer 28 giu 2023 alle ore 19:03 Alexandr Irza < ***@***.***> ha scritto:

1. I still do not know if I should support values more than 0dB and how it can be used/implemented
2. I think it is bug from another feature. I will try to reproduce it and fix. But try to open theme settings (one of buttons in the left bottom corner) and see what settings you have there.

[donatopace]

2. Solved with theme settings, thanks. 1. See image below  Il giorno mer 28 giu 2023 alle ore 20:55 Alexandr Irza < ***@***.***> ha scritto:

Please attach image on GitHub because it does not support images in email.

With this value
if you try to reduce volume with mouse wheel on systemtray the "Fader Gain" go down immediately to -60dB

[irzyxa]

Yes, I know because I use only value from 0 to 60, I think I will change it to use max value as 72 (60+12dB)

[donatopace]

You use value from:
0dB to -60dB

now you can use max value to +12dB so:
12dB to -60dB

Now OSD volume is from:
0 to 100
You think it is a good idea if OSD volume range became:
0 to 120
and if i try to increase the value show 120 or other value
to indicate the user is over 0dB?

[irzyxa]

No, it will be -60 as 0 and +12 as 100%

[donatopace]

The risk is that the volume is over-boosted every-time because the users do not know that 100% not is 0dB but +12dB

[irzyxa]

Okay, I have not found solution for 12dB but I updated version and fixed issue related to reset to zero(link the same as above)

[donatopace]

I think i have found solution for +12dB at volume 100%
a "RED Little LETTER" or "RED Point" or what you prefer on the right of 100%

then when users reduce the volume a little

Thanks.

[donatopace]

Basically there will be a step between +12dB and 0dB

[donatopace]

Hello,
i tried to download a new version with bug fixed but it still appears to be the old version.
Can you send me latest link?
Thanks.

[irzyxa]

No, becaue the latest version is the same that you tested. I needed to upload it because there was other changes for other tasks.

[Sundava]

Any way to also expand this feature to the Hardware Out devices ?
Currently adding a voicemeeter devices only goes from strip 1 to 8, which only correspond to inputs (Inputs in the voicemeeter sense)

I want to be able to change the volume sent to my headset without affecting the volume of the audio sent to OBS, for instance.
(This is done by changing the volume of the first strip of Hardware Out, here -26dB in my screen)

[irzyxa]

@Sundava Done. It is available in version 1.1.8.464.

[donatopace]

Thanks a lots for yout work.
There is only a little error on volume;
i make an example...
if VAIO 3 volume is at value bigger than 0dB for example +3dB
when i scroll down mouse volume wheel the volume start from -2dB and not from 0dB

[irzyxa]

Probably it depends on Volume Speed option (Main tab). Please try to change it and look at volume value I think it will be different not -2 dB

[donatopace]

Hello,
i have change the Volume speed to max value (100 steps)
now when i scroll down from volume VAIO 3 for example +3dB
the first step down is -0,6dB and not from 0dB as expect as first value
you can try because i have tested on four different computers

[donatopace]

I'll try to explain myself better.
when I lower the volume with the mouse wheel VAIO3 must jump to 0dB as the first value if it had values greater than 0dB while the first value always monitors 0dB

[donatopace]

So if VAIO3 has initial volume value of +3dB first step of mouse whell should be 0dB
actually is always -2dB after i have changed the Volume speed to max value (100 steps)

[donatopace]

Have you been able to verify the problem?
Thank you

[donatopace]

Hello,

Thank you

[irzyxa]

Sorry, I was busy. Yes, I reproduced it but I do not see ways to resolve it.
One possible solution is to show dB value on OSD
