How to control Windows volume remotely?

October 27, 2007 3:48 PM

I need a way to remotely control the volume of a Windows machine.

I'm looking for an application that will let me remotely from a Linux/OS X box control the volume of a Windows box on the same network. I doubt a ready-made app exists for this, so I'm thinking I'll probably write a little Python script or something that listens on a port for me to command it to quiet down. I need no help with programming, but how would do you control the volume levels on Windows from a script?

This command line tool can change a machine's master volume. Your port listening script could call this program when it receives a command.
