[Release] Volume Control (Windows 7+ only) remake

What exactly means "connected to a different teamspeak"?
Is it just one specific TS server like the title says? If so, could you give me the server IP (via PM if you want).
Are you connected to two servers at the same time? Or do you have two instances of teamspeak open (which shouldn't be possible I think)?
I'm just hanging on the word "different"...different to what? :D

And as your crash report was moved to my plugin thread...does it solve the issue if you disable the plugin?


@Chris, if you are reading this:
Would you be so kind to tell me, which information I can get out of those dump files? I can open the files with Visual Studio and it looks like this.
So I see that my plugin is loaded but it doesn't really tell me at which point the error occured. And also I obviously cant start a debug, because I dont have the debug information for ts3_client_win64.exe.
I did "learning by doing" for C++ and VisualStudio, so perhaps I'm just missing a crucial point to get something out of those dumps...right now I can only confirm "yes it crashed, and my plugin was loaded, too" :D

Absolutely love the plugin, can i ask a feature, to addition to this:

Would it be possible to suppress more than one audio device? I have 2 different playback device, one for games, browser and other audio, and one for music only. And I'd like to suppress both of them.

Sure but I have to restructure my code a little bit for this, so it could get more complex than it seems.

Ok I updated the first post.
I switched to the new Visual Studio 2013 some time ago. There is no particular reason for it other than it's new and shiny and it was for free, so unfortunately you have to install the redistributable package for it.

VS2013 redist: http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/downl....aspx?id=40784

1.7 API20 (make sure to get the VS2013 redistributables for this and every future release):
added a whitelist as an alternative to the editable blacklist -> if you want, check the box and you can let the plugin only suppress the applications you want

added the functionality to select multiple audio devices and not just one

Thanks for the quick update! works like a charm. And it even treats 2 main channel volume separately. :)

For some reason my TeamSpeak keeps crashing can any of you help, when it crashes it gives a a debug file. I posted the file down below.

Edit by Staff: Crashes in third party plugin volume_control_goreki. Please contact the author of said plugin for updates / support.

Those dump files don't help me. Do you have the latest version of my plugin and can you reproduce the crash on your own will?

ts3 problem

Edit by Staff: Crash caused by third party plugin volume_control_goreki. Please contact the author of said plugin for updates / support.

mate can you pls add an option to delay the volume restore?

For some reason my Team Speak keeps crashing for no apparent reason. When it crashes it gives me a file. The file is down below please help

Crash for no reason.

Edit by Staff: Crashes in 3rd party plugin volume_control_goreki. Please contact the author of said plugin for updates and support

can anyone one of you tell me what you did before it crashed? "crash for no reason" and the dump files dont help me, because I dont have the debug information for ts3

I hope you all have the latest version installed.

Honestly, I got this idea myself some time ago, but I thought "not worth my time, if nobody requests it" :D
I will look into it...perhaps I can give you an update this weekend.

You don't actually need any debug information for TeamSpeak. The crash is in the plugin itself, and you should have debug information for your own code, thus you should be able to locate the code at which it crashed.

If you were to add version information into the file itself, you'd know which version people use and said information would also be available in crashdumps, which would instantly answer that question ;) Way too few people actually use that feature if you ask me.

No, because VS says I need the debug information for ts3client_win64.exe.
And I also searched on the internet how to debug based on dump files and everywhere it tells me that I need the debug symbols for the executable, which are created in the compiling/linking process.
I dont know what the other plugin devs here are doing with those dump files, but for me it seems kind of useless. I already asked you some months ago on this topic but I assume that you didn't read it back then (no offense).
edit: Chris send me a very informative PM, explaining me how to Visual Studio :D

Fair enough, I will do this from now on.

Thank you :D

Hi I'm looking for an plugin, which provides the voice volume from me silent when others speak. its possible?


Answer to Reason for Editing: I saw the plugin, but got it wrong! SRY



but i need it for linux :S

updated the first post with version 1.8:
added a delay option

I've been having continuous crashes at random, sometimes minutes apart and sometimes hourly. Most of them, like this last one, happen while I'm playing Neverwinter (which is the only time I have Teamspeak on).

Edit by Staff: Crashes in 3rd party plugin volume_control_goreki. Please contact the author of said plugin for updates and support

Not sure if this is still maintained but will there ever be a solution to the "volume always at max" problem in the new version (well not exactly problem since it's by design but I guess you understand what I mean)?

Fact is, when there's volume set per application there's probably a reason for it, no? ;) Also it somewhat messes with programs that only use the windows soundmixer for volume control and have no internal volume adjustment (looking at you WMP).

Couldn't the plugin just use the Windows-Communication-Settings-thingy in the soundcontrol that Skype is apparently using as well? I'm not really sure how this is actually working but isn't it just telling Windows that a communication is active? The Windows API pretty much does the rest for you...

I think the TS3 Client would have to set the specific flag while creating the audiosessions (for recording and output).

I could imagine, that the devs are using some platform independent libraries for the audio part and such special windows features are not supported, but I dont know honestly.

See /soundbackends subfolder, I'd do my bets on homegrown.
Nonetheless, your point stands, as it's triggered by a flagged stream itself this would have to be a client option.

Hm ok... too bad :( well was worth a try :D

I'd like to setup Team Speak so that when people I am talking to, their sound is priority over a YouTube Video for example.

On Skype, if you are on a call with someone, and there is no talking, the YouTube video will have priority on sound, and be louder. However if someone talks on skype, YouTube will go quieter, and Skype takes Priority.

How do I achieve this effect in TeamSpeak?

(Basically when raiding on WoW, I want my music loud, but to mute when people in the raid are speaking)

Is the source code for this available on github or sourceforge, etc?

Thanks

That's exactly what this plugin does but it only does it for TS. It will not help you with skype though i think skype has that function built in or windows does.

Assuming windows 7 or 8
For SKYPE right click your little speaker in the taskbar, select playback devices, go to communications, then select if you want to mute other sounds.

I just wanted to say super thanks for making this plugin. I've been without a working auto-volume-adjuster for a loooong time now since the "original" one stopped working properly.

This plugin works really nice. I'm using StereoTool to increase volume on TeamSpeak, and with the whitelist feature I can make it only adjust Winamp's volume.

Thanks again :)

EDIT: I spoke too soon. It keeps crashing my client every few minutes .... Just like all the others are reporting. Not doing anything, just sitting there. Not even a browser or game running. Plopp. TS crashes.

i dont know who "all the others" are, but can you try out version 1.7 instead of the latest version 1.8? I always felt like I implemented the delay option in non-optimal way, so perhaps this causes problems (even if you have the delay set to 0)

> i dont know who "all the others" are

I quickly counted at least 5 posts in this thread with users reporting identical issues (crashes) when using this plugin. I was referring to those.

FYI the download "Volume_Control_Goreki_API20_1.8.zip" contains a plugin showing version number 1.7. I'm guessing you simply forgot to update the version number.

I'm currently testing the plugin in the download "Volume_Control_Goreki_API20_1.7.zip" to see if if has improved stability.

Just wanted to give an update on running v1.7

Been running it a couple of days now - without a single crash. You might be right about v1.8 been hastily done in regards of the delay implementation.

Cheers.

hello,
first thanks for that plugin
the official plugin was completely bugging out for me, decreasing the volumes several times over over (it took time to get there though, but not sure what caused that, didn't really want to research it)

Anyway, I don't really know how to blacklist "System Sounds" (windows 7 x64)
any help ?

I'd really like to keep my system sounds as a permanently lowered but not too low volume
Thanks.

I currently have Windows 8.1 installed, but i guess it will be the same for Win7.
I guess you tried google just like me without actual results, so I got the name by debugging my project and trigger a system sound:
"[System Process]" - without quotation marks, but WITH brackets. Add this to the blacklist in the options.

The name seems to be very generic, so I hope this will apply to exactly those sounds, you dont want to lowered, and not have some unwanted side-effects.

Thanks a lot, seems to work fine from quick testing :)

any chance we can get an update for Windows 10? :)

Loved using it with 7.

Problem:
I was playing a game and then teamspeak crashed. After that in-game sounds became ALWAYS ducked.

PC restart, TS restart, game restart - sound is still ALWAYS ducked and is ducking even more when someone speaks.

How to fix this?

System sound volume was and is 100%. I raised the in-game volume to 100% and it is still too quiet.

I found the solution:
Steps to fix:
1. Run all applications that were affected
2. Open windows volume mixer by right-clicking speaker icon in the system tray and selecting "Open Volume Mixer"
3. You should see the separate volume sliders for your running applications
4. Up the volume of the affected applications to the desired level

Glad that you found it yourself, but honestly that shouldn't happen at all.

As soon as you or someone else starts and stops speaking after you restarted everything, all volume sliders should have reset back up to 100%.

Are you sure you are actually using my plugin and not the very old orginal version from the TS developers? Because your described "still ducked and ducked even more when someone speaks" is exactly the reason, why I initially remade this plugin with a slighty different functionality (see first post of thread -> differences).



And to the very old question about Windows 10 earlier: Strange that I didnt get an email notification, but it works with Win10 anyway, so no update needed.

Hi since Windows 10 I have found this plugin is causing my TS to crash. Please see this thread with my issues.

http://forum.teamspeak.com/threads/1...ample?p=425826

I hope there is a fix :) so useful this plugin!

Mhh it doesn't seem, that my plugin is loaded.

This is what it looks like, if you open the crash dump with visual studio:
Attachment 13517

I think, there is no plugin loaded at all.

Weird... ill get you a new dump as soon as it crashes again. Thanks for the reply! :)

Here is my dump from just now with the plugin running
