Trouble with sound

[mattotto83]

Hi all,
I have a problem with my application.
My application would have to play an audio with the user's volume but I don't succeed to obtain the current value of volume.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi,

What do you mean by "user's volume"? There isn't a global volume setting on Symbian devices, only volume settings for individual applications.

Some volumes, like ringing tone volume, you should be able to get. Others, like telephony volume or media player volume may be hard/impossible. What's your use case?

Ok.
In which way can I get the ringing tone volume? So I set this value in my application.

Thanks

Hi,

I think you have to check current active profile and then you can get the volume. Search for TProfileRingingVolume in the profile API.

Hi,

Yes, exactly. Depending on which SDK you are using there are different profile APIs and the one you want might be in the SDK API plug-in pack (which you'll find from the Wiki).
