Powershell script to set speaker volume

On a recent MDT project the client requested to finish all builds with volume set at 30%.

 

Being committed to doing everything in Powershell, I jumped on the book of knowledge looking for some inspiration. As luck would have it, I found this response from knuckle-dragger that performed the complete task perfectly for me.

 

Below is the PowerShell script that meets my clients ‘need’…

 

Function Set-Speaker($Volume)

{

$wshShell = new-object -com wscript.shell;1..50 | %

 {

$wshShell.SendKeys([char]174)};1..$Volume | % {$wshShell.SendKeys([char]175)

}

}

Set-Speaker -Volume 15

 

I save this as a ps1 and execute this as a Powershell Script towards the end of the task sequence and the volume magically gets set to 30%.

If my little function doesn’t suit your desires, this script from MS Script Center or this script from the scripting guys might be helpful

Enjoy,
Dan
