macOS How to trigger event based on volume level

[ericbreiter]

I wish to write a simple application that triggers an event purely based on when the output volume level reaches a certain threshold.

It does not matter if the application takes all outgoing sounds into account (browser, mp3 players, video players, etc.) or the sound of a specific application if that is even possible.

Does anyone have any idea on how to go about this?

You could write a stay open Applescript application to do this.

Let me know if your interested in some Applescript code, and I'll post something for you.

You can get/set volume with something like this :

get volume settings
set volume output volume 50
