Is there any way to use IAudioEndPointVolume interface with AudioSession instances? I want to read the app volume (any process volume) is playing now or not or current value of comig sound?

Make sure to give enough information to help debugging your issue. Here are some hints:

• current requirements (pip freeze)
• OS version
• architecture
• Python version
• pycaw version
• project files
• exact stacktrace / accurate error message
• and so on

from pycaw.pycaw import AudioUtilities

def is_sound_playing():
    devices = AudioUtilities.GetAllDevices()
    volume_interface = devices[0].Activate(IAudioEndpointVolume._iid_, CLSCTX_ALL, None)
    volume = cast(volume_interface, POINTER(IAudioEndpointVolume))

    # Check the audio level for a few seconds
    duration = 5  # Duration to monitor sound in seconds
    interval = 0.1  # Interval between audio level checks
    start_time = time.time()

    while time.time() - start_time < duration:
        audio_level = volume.GetMasterVolumeLevelScalar()

        if audio_level > 0.01:  # Adjust this threshold according to your needs
            return True

        time.sleep(interval)

    return False

I mean, when using GetAllDevices(), is_sound_playing() is working to read that the sound is coming or not? But sessions can't do that.

Oh ı solved it. Sorry for alert. :) I used AudioSessionState to read state is active.

from pycaw.pycaw import AudioUtilities, ISimpleAudioVolume
from pycaw.constants import AudioSessionState

sessions = AudioUtilities.GetAllSessions()
# Find the target application by its name
edge_app_name = "msedge.exe"
spotify_app_name = "Spotify.exe"

#edge_session = AudioUtilities.GetSession(edge_app_name)
#spotify_session = AudioUtilities.GetSession(spotify_app_name)

while True:
    for session in sessions:
        if session.Process and session.Process.name() == edge_app_name:
            edge_volume = session._ctl.QueryInterface(ISimpleAudioVolume)
            is_sound = session.State == AudioSessionState.Active
            current_volume = edge_volume.GetMasterVolume()
            print("Current volume:", current_volume)
            print("is_sound: ", is_sound)

Thank you for coming back with the solution that could always be helpful to others :pray:
