The user should always be in control of his computer's sound!

Sure but Windows lack ability to do permissions like iOS or Android so they revert to prohibit some API without explicitly user inatraction.

I was mistaken with the mute status, my old project was on specific request from a client where he wanted to control the devices in Sound Control Panel to enable and disable a device and change the Default device for both Playback and Recording, which is not allowed without user interaction, it took me hours of debugging to extract the Windows internal code which was one freaking line!!

Anyway i tried this based on your code and it is working just fine

Code:

...
    if not Succeeded(FAudioEndpointVolume.SetMute(Muted, nil)) then
      OutputDebugString(PChar('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: SetMute OK ' + BoolToStr
        (Muted, True)))
    else
      OutputDebugString(PChar('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: SetMute Fail ' +
        BoolToStr(Muted, True)))
...

It is working on my Windows 10 (1803)

Isn't the logic inverted here? (if not Succeeded -> SetMute OK)

Anyway - when calling with a False parameter, checking the exact HRESULT it returns FALSE here:

Code:

    var R: System.HResult := FAudioEndpointVolume.SetMute(Muted, nil);
    case R of
      S_OK:          CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: OK');          // successful operation with a return value of True
      S_FALSE:       CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: FALSE');       // successful operation with a return value of False
      E_NOINTERFACE: CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: NOINTERFACE'); // Interface not supported
      E_UNEXPECTED:  CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: UNEXPECTED');  // Catastrophic failure
      E_NOTIMPL:     CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: NOTIMPL');     // Operation not implemented
    end;

Windows Version: 10.0 Build 19045, Windows 10 (Version 22H2, OS Build 19045.3570, 64-bit Edition)

Debugging it further:

Delphi-Quellcode:

procedure TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState(Muted: Boolean);
var
  MuteStatus: Boolean;
  FAudioEndpointVolume: AudioEndpoint.IAudioEndpointVolume; // from the Andreas Rejbrand unit
  FDeviceEnumerator: IMMDeviceEnumerator;
  FMMDevice: IMMDevice;
begin
  CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: A');
  if not Succeeded(CoCreateInstance(CLASS_IMMDeviceEnumerator, nil, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
    IID_IMMDeviceEnumerator, FDeviceEnumerator)) then
  begin
    //OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 1');
    CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 1');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  if not Succeeded(FDeviceEnumerator.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(0, 0, FMMDevice)) then
  begin
    //OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 2');
    CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 2');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  if not Succeeded(FMMDevice.Activate(IID_IAudioEndpointVolume, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, nil, FAudioEndpointVolume)) then
  begin
    //OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 3');
    CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 3');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: B');

  if Assigned(FAudioEndpointVolume) then
  begin
    CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: C');
    var R: System.HResult := FAudioEndpointVolume.SetMute(Muted, nil);
    case R of
      S_OK:          CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: OK');          // successful operation with a return value of True
      S_FALSE:       CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: FALSE');       // successful operation with a return value of False
      E_NOINTERFACE: CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: NOINTERFACE'); // Interface not supported
      E_UNEXPECTED:  CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: UNEXPECTED');  // Catastrophic failure
      E_NOTIMPL:     CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: NOTIMPL');     // Operation not implemented
      else           CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: ELSE');
    end;
  end
  else
  begin
    //OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: FAudioEndpointVolume not assigned!');
    CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: FAudioEndpointVolume not assigned!');
  end;
end;

When calling SetMasterVolumeMuteState(True);

I get these debug messages:

TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: A
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: B
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: C
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: ELSE

Yes you are right there.

I messed that up, but in all cases the master is switching between muted and unmuted with that function, try to capture the R value.

Also it seems the behavior is different on my Windows
Anhang 56335

As you see in the Log Event first click is OK showing changing state followed by False because the state is not changed.

[PeterPanino]

Catching the R value on ELSE:

When calling SetMasterVolumeMuteState(True);

I get these debug messages:

TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: A
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: B
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: C
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: ELSE = -2147024809

"-2147024809" is "0x80070057," which corresponds to the error code E_INVALIDARG (Invalid arguments).

How do you call SetMute?

[Kas Ob.]

Here is my full working example

Code:

procedure TForm10.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  SetMasterMuteState(True);
end;

procedure TForm10.Button4Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  SetMasterMuteState(False);
end;

procedure TForm10.SetMasterMuteState(Muted: Boolean);
var
  MuteStatus: Boolean;
  FAudioEndpointVolume: AudioEndpoint.IAudioEndpointVolume; // from the Andreas Rejbrand unit
  FDeviceEnumerator: IMMDeviceEnumerator;
  FMMDevice: IMMDevice;
  R: System.HResult;
begin
  if not Succeeded(CoCreateInstance(CLASS_IMMDeviceEnumerator, nil, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
    IID_IMMDeviceEnumerator, FDeviceEnumerator)) then
  begin
    OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 1');
      //CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 1');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  if not Succeeded(FDeviceEnumerator.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(0, 0, FMMDevice)) then
  begin
    OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 2');
      //CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 2');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  if not Succeeded(FMMDevice.Activate(IID_IAudioEndpointVolume, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, nil,
    FAudioEndpointVolume)) then
  begin
    OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 3');
      //CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 3');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  if Assigned(FAudioEndpointVolume) then
  begin

      R := FAudioEndpointVolume.SetMute(Muted, nil);
    case R of
      S_OK: OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: OK'); // successful operation with a return value of True
      S_FALSE: OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: FALSE'); // successful operation with a return value of False
      E_NOINTERFACE: OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: NOINTERFACE'); // Interface not supported
      E_UNEXPECTED: OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: UNEXPECTED'); // Catastrophic failure
      E_NOTIMPL: OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: NOTIMPL'); // Operation not implemented
      else OutputDebugString(PChar('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: ELSE '+ IntToHex(R,8)));
    end;

  end
  else
  begin
    OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: FAudioEndpointVolume not assigned!');
      //CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: FAudioEndpointVolume not assigned!');
  end;
end;

TForm1.FormKeyUp:
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: A
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: B
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: C
TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: ELSE 80070057

There must be a difference between our versions of Windows.

Interesting !

Please try this

Code:

const
  IID_IAudioEndpointVolumeEx: TGUID = '{66E11784-F695-4F28-A505-A7080081A78F}';

type
  IAudioEndpointVolumeEx = interface(IAudioEndpointVolume)
    [IID_IAudioEndpointVolumeEx]
    function GetVolumeRangeChannel(nChannel: Integer; out pflVolumeMindB: double; out
      pflVolumeMaxdB: double; out pflVolumeIncrementdB: double): HRESULT; stdcall;
  end;

procedure TForm10.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  SetMasterMuteState(True);
end;

procedure TForm10.Button4Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  SetMasterMuteState(False);
end;

procedure TForm10.SetMasterMuteState(Muted: Boolean);
var
  FAudioEndpointVolumeEx: IAudioEndpointVolumeEx;
  FDeviceEnumerator: IMMDeviceEnumerator;
  FMMDevice: IMMDevice;
  R: System.HResult;
begin
  if not Succeeded(CoCreateInstance(CLASS_IMMDeviceEnumerator, nil, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
    IID_IMMDeviceEnumerator, FDeviceEnumerator)) then
  begin
    OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 1');
      //CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 1');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  if not Succeeded(FDeviceEnumerator.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(0, 0, FMMDevice)) then
  begin
    OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 2');
      //CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 2');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  if not Succeeded(FMMDevice.Activate(IID_IAudioEndpointVolumeEx, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
    nil, IAudioEndpointVolume(FAudioEndpointVolumeEx))) then
  begin
    OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 3');
      //CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: 3');
    ExitProcess(1);
  end;

  if Assigned(FAudioEndpointVolumeEx) then
  begin
    R := FAudioEndpointVolumeEx.SetMute(Muted, nil);
    case R of
      S_OK:
        OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: OK'); // successful operation with a return value of True
      S_FALSE:
        OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: FALSE'); // successful operation with a return value of False
      E_NOINTERFACE:
        OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: NOINTERFACE'); // Interface not supported
      E_UNEXPECTED:
        OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: UNEXPECTED'); // Catastrophic failure
      E_NOTIMPL:
        OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: NOTIMPL'); // Operation not implemented
    else
      OutputDebugString(PChar('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeMuteState: ELSE ' + IntToStr(R)));
    end;

  end
  else
  begin
    OutputDebugString('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: FAudioEndpointVolume not assigned!');
      //CodeSite.Send('TForm1.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar: FAudioEndpointVolume not assigned!');
  end;
end;

Also did you try to run your application as Administrator ? , it could be some permission problem.
