Set device volume on Windows devices

The following PowerShell script helps the IT Admins to configure device volume remotely on managed Windows devices. This is particularly useful for devices that are exposed to the public, such as those in classrooms, conference rooms, and similar settings.

1. Create a file on your desktop, for example, set_volume.ps1 and open it in a text editor like notepad++

2. Copy the contents below to the file or click here to download the file.

   1. Enter the value of the preferred volume level in the script.
      

      $preferredVolume = 42
      try{
          if(-not( Get-PackageProvider | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Nuget"}))
          {
              #installing nuget package if doesn't exists.
              Install-packageprovider -name Nuget -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
          }
          if (-not(Get-Module -ListAvailable | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "AudioDeviceCmdlets"}))
          {
              #installing audiodevicecmdlets module
              Install-Module -name AudioDeviceCmdlets -Force
          }
          Set-AudioDevice -playbackvolume $preferredVolume
          Write-Host "Successfully configured", $preferredVolume
      }
      catch{
          Write-Host $_.exception.message
      }
