Keyboard Maestro: SYSTEMVOLUME, SystemVolume

Details #

systemVolume() takes no arguments and returns a number from 0 to 100: the output volume of the current sound output. It asks macOS through AppleScript, which takes a moment.

Parameters #

Takes 0 arguments. {{ systemVolume() }}

Examples #

systemVolume()

→ 0

systemVolume() > 50

→ false

Gotchas #

Calling it with an argument is an error: systemVolume() takes 0 arguments, got 1.
If the volume can't be read within three seconds, the answer is 0, which looks the same as muted.
