How can I get the volume of the current audio output device in Python on Windows?

I'm looking for a simple way to get the volume of the current audio output device in Python, preferably in percent or as a decimal from 0-1

Solution

  • On Windows, use pycaw:

    from ctypes import cast, POINTER
from comtypes import CLSCTX_ALL
from pycaw.pycaw import AudioUtilities, IAudioEndpointVolume
devices = AudioUtilities.GetSpeakers()
interface = devices.Activate(
    IAudioEndpointVolume._iid_, CLSCTX_ALL, None)
volume = cast(interface, POINTER(IAudioEndpointVolume))

volume.GetMasterVolumeLevelScalar()
