Antelope Audio Sample Rate Synchronization Script

Overview

This AutoHotkey script synchronizes the sample rate between the ASIO drivers and Windows WDM (Windows Driver Model) drivers for Antelope Audio interfaces. It ensures that when the sample rate changes in the ASIO control panel, the corresponding Windows audio devices update their sample rates accordingly. This prevents situations where audio playback fails because the ASIO and WDM drivers have mismatched sample rates.

How It Works

• Monitoring the Log File: The script continuously monitors the Antelope Audio log file located at C:\Users\Public\.AntelopeAudio\discrete8_hybrid_tb3\panels\1.1.6\panel_log.txt. Check your version of the interface and change the path accordingly.
• Detecting Sample Rate Changes: It looks for changes in the sync_freq parameter within the log file.
• Updating Audio Devices: When a change is detected, it uses the SoundVolumeView utility to update the sample rate of specified Windows audio devices to match the new sync_freq.
• Control Panel Integration: The script also includes integration to automatically start the Antelope Audio Control Panel using a specific device ID and to change the position of the control panel window based on settings specified in a separate text file. This feature ensures that the control panel launches with the correct settings and can be positioned on the screen as desired.

Requirements

• AutoHotkey: Install from https://www.autohotkey.com/. Choose V1.
• SoundVolumeView Utility: Download from https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/sound_volume_view.html and place it in C:\IT\!AHK\SoundVolumeView\.

Setup Instructions

1. Download the Script

   Save the provided AsioWdmSRSync.ahk script to a location of your choice.

2. Adjust the Log Path (if necessary)

   Ensure the LogPath variable points to the correct log file location for your Antelope Audio device.

   LogPath := "C:\Users\Public\.AntelopeAudio\discrete8_hybrid_tb3\panels\1.1.6\panel_log.txt"

3. Update Device Names (if necessary)

   Modify the Devices array to include all the audio devices you wish to synchronize. You can find the correct names for your devices using the SoundVolumeView utility, specifically in the "Command-Line Friendly" column.

   Devices := ["Your Device Name Here\\Render", "Another Device\\Capture"]

4. Ensure SoundVolumeView Path is Correct

   The script assumes SoundVolumeView.exe is located at C:\IT\!AHK\SoundVolumeView\SoundVolumeView.exe. Update the Command variable in the script if your path is different.

   Command := "Your Path to SoundVolumeView.exe /SetDefaultFormat ..."

5. Launch the Antelope Audio Control Panel

   The script automatically launches the Antelope Audio Control Panel using a specific device ID. The control panel is started via the command line using the --use-device flag, which specifies the interface's device ID. This method of launching the control panel is essential for capturing logs and saving them to the specified log file. This device ID can be obtained from the Antelope Launcher logs after the control panel has been started manually.

   ; Example of starting the control panel with device ID
   Run, %ComSpec% /c ""%ExePath%" --use-device 3424222000110 > "%LogPath%"", , Hide

6. Configure Window Positioning (Optional)

   The script includes an integration to move the control panel window to specific screen positions based on values read from a text file (!GdzieTV.txt). This can be useful for setting up your workspace, but you can remove this feature if it's not needed.

   ; Example of moving the control panel window
   if (InStr(TVPosition, "TVup"))
   {
       WinMove, ahk_exe discrete4_hybrid_tb3.exe,, 665, -768, 1360, 768 
   }

7. Compile the Scripts

   Both the AsioWdmSRSync.ahk and antelope4discrete.ahk scripts should be compiled into .exe files using AutoHotkey. Place both .exe files in the same directory.

8. Run the Script

   To start, run the antelope4discrete.exe file. This will launch the Antelope Audio Control Panel and automatically trigger the execution of AsioWdmSRSync.exe, ensuring that the sample rates are synchronized properly.

Usage

• Automatic Synchronization: The script runs in the background and checks for sample rate changes every second.
• Control Panel Management: The script also handles the launching and positioning of the Antelope Audio Control Panel, ensuring it's properly configured each time it's started.
• Debugging: Uncomment the MsgBox lines in the script if you want to see pop-up messages for debugging purposes.

Troubleshooting

• Log File Access Issues: If the script cannot open the log file, check the file path and permissions.
• Device Not Updating: Ensure that the device names in the Devices array exactly match those recognized by SoundVolumeView.
• SoundVolumeView Errors: Verify that SoundVolumeView.exe is accessible and not blocked by antivirus software.
• Control Panel Not Starting: Double-check the device ID used in the --use-device flag and ensure it's correctly retrieved from the Antelope Launcher logs.

Machine Activity Monitor

Overview

This script is designed to monitor the activity of a machine and send a webhook notification based on the machine's state (active or inactive). The script checks the machine's activity every 3 seconds and sends a webhook notification when the machine has been inactive for more than 60 seconds.

Setup

1. Dependencies:

   • Ensure you have AutoHotKey installed on your machine.

2. Script Configuration:

   • Replace <path_to_variable_in_txt> with the path to your text file containing the variable you want to send in the webhook.
   • Replace <your_webhook_url_machine_is_inactive> with the webhook URL you want to call when the machine is inactive.
   • Replace <your_webhook_url_machine_is_active> with the webhook URL you want to call when the machine becomes active again.
   • Replace <your_GET_variable> with the name of the GET variable you want to send in the webhook.

3. Time Configuration:

   • The script checks the machine's activity every 3 seconds by default. If you want to change this interval, modify the value 3000 in the SetTimer, Check, 3000 line to your desired interval in milliseconds.

4. Webhook Construction:

   • The webhook should be constructed as a GET request.
   • Example for inactive state: <your_webhook_url_machine_is_inactive>?<your_GET_variable>=<value_from_txt_file>
   • Example for active state: <your_webhook_url_machine_is_active>?<your_GET_variable>=<value_from_txt_file>

How It Works

1. The script reads a variable from a specified text file.
2. It then continuously checks the machine's physical idle time.
3. If the machine has been inactive for more than 60 seconds, it sends a webhook notification indicating that the machine is inactive.
4. When the machine becomes active again, it sends another webhook notification indicating that the machine is active.

Why Use This Script?

This script is useful for scenarios where you want to monitor the activity of a machine and take actions based on its state. For example, you might want to turn off certain services or applications when the machine is inactive to save resources.

Continuous Scrolling Toggle

Overview

This script allows the user to toggle continuous scrolling using the spacebar. When activated, the script simulates the "WheelDown" action, which is equivalent to scrolling down on a mouse wheel.

Setup

1. Dependencies:

   • Ensure you have AutoHotKey installed on your machine.

2. Usage:

   • Run the script.
   • Press the spacebar to start continuous scrolling.
   • Press the spacebar again to stop continuous scrolling.

How It Works

1. The script sets a maximum of 2 threads per hotkey to ensure smooth toggling.
2. When the spacebar (*Space::) is pressed, the Toggle variable is switched between its active and inactive states.
3. If Toggle is active, the script enters a loop where it simulates the "WheelDown" action, causing the screen to scroll down.
4. Pressing the spacebar again deactivates the Toggle, breaking out of the loop and stopping the scrolling.

Use Cases

This script is useful for reading long articles, documents, or web pages without manually scrolling. By simply pressing the spacebar, the user can have a hands-free scrolling experience.

Window Transparency Toggle

Overview

This script provides functionality to toggle the transparency of the currently active window using the hotkey combination Alt + 2. When activated, the script sets the transparency of the active window to 150 (on a scale of 0-255, with 255 being fully opaque). Pressing the hotkey combination again will revert the window back to its original state.

Setup

1. Dependencies:

   • Ensure you have AutoHotKey installed on your machine.

2. Usage:

   • Run the script.
   • Press Alt + 2 to make the currently active window semi-transparent.
   • Press Alt + 2 again to revert the window back to its original opacity.

How It Works

1. The script sets some recommended directives for performance and compatibility.
2. The hotkey combination Alt + 2 (!2::) is defined to toggle the transparency of the active window.
3. When the hotkey is pressed, the toggle variable switches between its active and inactive states.
4. If toggle is active, the script sets the transparency of the active window (A) to 150.
5. If toggle is inactive, the script turns off the transparency for the active window.

Use Cases

This script is useful for users who often work with multiple overlapping windows and want to quickly peek at the content behind the active window without minimizing or moving it. By simply pressing Alt + 2, the user can make the active window semi-transparent and see the content behind it.
