How to Control Volume with AutoHotKeys Windows 7
64How to control you volume using hotkeys using AutoHotKey.
Step One:
Get Autohotkey:
www.autohotkey.com
--------------------------------
Step two:
Run autohotkey, it will ask if you want to create a script in the My Documents folder, say yes.
--------------------------------
Step three:
Delete everything in the notepad window that just appeared.
(note: if the notepad window didn't open up already, goto My Documents and right click 'autohotkey.ahk' and click edit.)
--------------------------------
Step four:
paste:
!numpad2::SendInput, {Volume_Down}
!numpad8::SendInput, {Volume_Up}
into the file. Just those 3 lines, the first line of code, an empty line, then the last line of code. Save file.
--------------------------------
Step five:
Check the taskbar to see if AHK is running, if it isn't find it and run it, once it's down there, right click and click 'reload script'
After that, you can press ALT + 8 on your number pad to increase the system volume!! And press ALT + 2 to decrease!! SO COOL.
--------------------------------
After thoughts:
You might want to customize the hotkey to your liking, or maybe you don't have a number pad. You can customize the hotkey by editing the code before the ::.
Putting ! mean you have to hold ALT
Putting # means you have to hold the windows key
Putting ^ means you have to hold Ctrl.
Anything you put after that can be the hotkey. Say you want ALT + S to increase volume you'd type: "!s::-command-"
--------------------------------
the reason I made this video is because when i use my bluetooth speaker through auto cable, the volume is set to 100%. This causes me to have to keep my volume at around 10%, since I can't use any physical controls to change the volume of my speaker. I needed and easier way to change system volume while gaming. Also it was really hard to find a simple but works solution to a hotkey like this.
