javascript - Checking System Sound Level Through Node?

Question

So you know when you play audio (like opening a YouTube video) and click your system volume settings to see how loud it is? Like this?

I want to do the same with NodeJS, where I run a function and it continuously outputs the sound level, something like this:

let libraryThatGetsSound = require('libraryThatGetsSound');

while(true) {
     console.log(libraryThatGetsSound.soundLevel());
}

This application will run on the desktop itself, not in a browser.

How would I do that?

Answer 1

Have a look at these packages it might help

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/system-control
• https://github.com/LinusU/node-loudness
• https://github.com/jlonardi/node-audio-windows

Although I am not sure, but I think win-audio is either dead or it requires python
