How can we detect system volume in WIndows 8?

If I have an app that plays sounds. It seems like a good idea to indicate why the user isn't hearing the sounds. Is there a way to detect system volume or MUTE?

Yes.

  • MediaControl.SoundLevel for Windows 8
  • SystemMediaTransportControls.SoundLevel for Windows 8.1 and later

Music and media capture apps should monitor the SoundLevel to determine whether the audio streams on the app have been Muted.
