I am fairly new at java. I need to control volume (volume up/down, mute) in a java application. I couldn't find a way to do this. I am developing on a linux system (for information).

I tired this code:

Java Code:

Port lineIn;
FloatControl volCtrl;
try {
  mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(null);
  lineIn = (Port)mixer.getLine(Port.Info.LINE_IN);
  lineIn.open();
  volCtrl = (FloatControl) lineIn.getControl(

      FloatControl.Type.VOLUME);
  // Assuming getControl call succeeds, 
  // we now have our LINE_IN VOLUME control.
} catch (Exception e) {
  System.out.println("Failed trying to find LINE_IN"
    + " VOLUME control: exception = " + e);
}

but i got execption

Failed trying to find LINE_IN VOLUME control: exception = java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Line unsupported: COMPACT_DISC source port

Thanks for your help

Sometimes the controls are nested, which makes a platform independent solution difficult. I have written an utility class which is used like that:

Audio.setMasterOutputVolume(0.5f);

Source code is here: https://github.com/Kunagi/ilarkesto/blob/master/src/main/java/ilarkesto/media/Audio.java

Stackoverflow users can use the code from Audio.java under the terms of the WTFPL.

I don't think there is a constant called VOLUME. Its MASTER_GAIN. So you should do

volCtrl = (floatControl) lineIn.getControl(FloatControl.Type.MASTER_GAIN);
volCtrl.setValue(you_custom_value);
