Bill,

Normally I wouldn't mind using a scripting addition, but this is for a client and there's no way I can guarantee that the addition would be installed on everyone's machine. It's not critical. I was interested because the script trashes files it creates, and therefore the OS makes the trash sound every time this happens, which seems disrupting to me.

Thanks for the response. I take it there's no built-in way to get the volume.

Chuck,

If you don't mind using a third party scripting addition, Jon's Commands
offers you an option. It's still in beta; you can download it from
http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/software/

sound volume: Returns the current system sound volume. (defined in: Jons
Commands.osax)
sound volume
Result: small integer -- The volume level, from 0 to 7.

So your script would go something like this:

set currentVolume to sound volume -- capture current setting

set volume 0 -- mute

-- do things here

set volume currentVolume -- restore setting

Hope this helps.

I see from the Scripting Additions dictionary in Mac OS X that there is
a set volume command. I would like to find out what the volume is,
mute the volume, perform some operations and then restore the volume to
its original setting. Is there some way to get the current value of
the volume?
