I would like to open the Volume Control popup directly without using the mouse or keyboard. Currently, I am using AutoHotkey to press Win+B to focus on the system tray, Left to highlight the Volume Control icon
, and then Enter to bring up the popup.
I assume that this is possible, considering that you can open the View Available Networks window with
rundll32 van.dll,RunVANas opposed to using the Network icon
Is there a way to invoke the Volume Control popup from the command prompt? Please note that I am not looking to use the Volume Mixer (
sndvol):
, and then Enter to bring up the popup.
.
Solution:
sndvol.exe is what you want, you just need to use the -f flag to make it show just the master volume slider:
sndvol.exe -fRunning just sndvol.exe opens the volume mixer, as you noted.
