.bat file to execute a change to the Boost level?

[LamoidZombieDog]

Hello, i need to make a .bat i can put on the Taskbar that puts boost for a specific microphone up to 30 (highest setting available) and then another to reduce it back to 10 (lowest setting available before 0 boost) would be great if i can set a custom icon as well but not required. what script do i need? could be .exe, what ever. i figure a .bat would be easiest.

You can't do this natively through Windows command line AFAIK.

 

Have a look at NirCmd:

setsubunitvolumedb [Device Name] [Subunit Name] [Decibel Value]

Set the sound volume (in Decibels) of sound device subunit.
The [Device Name] is the name of the device, as appeared in the sound devices list of windows. In most cases the device name is 'Speakers'.
The [Subunit Name] is the name of a subunit, as appeared in the 'Level' tab of the device properties window. Examples for subunit name: Phone Line, Microphone, Internal MIC, Line In, and so on...
Examples:
setsubunitvolumedb "Speakers" "Line In" -25
setsubunitvolumedb "Speakers" "Microphone" -10

 

The actual bat file would end up looking something like:

 

@echo off

start nircmd.exe /min setsubunitvolumedb "Speakers" "Microphone" 30

@echo off

start nircmd.exe /min setsubunitvolumedb "Speakers" "Microphone" 30

so i set up

 

@echo off

 

start nircmd.exe /min setsubunitvolumedb "CMicrophone" "Microphone Boost" 30

 

 

 

When i execute, it just says can not find nircmd.exe

Did you install Nircmd? 

 

Try adding a command to move to the directory where the nircmd.exe file is located (eg: cd C:\nircmd), or specify the full path to nircmd.exe after start
