Hi, I would like to play sounds on my secondary soundcard from autohotkey to indicate the current soundlevel. I dont know if its to much work.

Wow... How many people have more than one sound card? It is worth spending time on it?
Perhaps search if there is some little software for this. Never saw something like that, though.
Found that: http://www.openal.org/windows_enumeration.html
HTH.

I have two. Every DJ has two.

If you own proffesional sound card, it is typiclly not good for anything else except composing. So, people use integrated, or other card for everything else.

You can discover the current volume level of a soundcard/mixer other than the default one via SoundGet's last parameter (DeviceNumber). However, this might not be enough to achieve your goal if you must have actual, audible feedback. So if it's important, this can probably be achieved via DllCall + mciSendString. Although I don't know the exact syntax for accessing a mixer other than the default one, hopefully there is some code/info available at MSDN or via a web search.

If you get it working, please post it here and I'll probably add it to the help file until such a feature is built in.

I have two soundcards as well. One for audio and one for my screen reader. Any possibility of this feature being added? I don't really think having multiple sound devices is that uncommon these days.
