Python – Setting volume globally in pygame.Sound module

audiopygamepython

I have been trying to set volume to all the sound playing using pygame.
def on_press(self):
file_name = self.filename

    pygame.mixer.pre_init(44100, 16, 2, 4096) 
    pygame.init()
    pygame.mixer.init(44100)
    channel=pygame.mixer.Sound(file_name)
    channel.play(0)

every time I press a button in the front end, A sound plays. I can play as many sounds I can.
Now my question is how do I control volume of all the music? Here I should create object for each file and set its volume value. Code is below

           channel=pygame.mixer.Sound(file_name)
           channel.play(0)

How do I set the volume globally? All files that are playing should be affected with given volume?
Thanks for any help!

I believe you have to set each one individually with Sound.set_volume(value). You will have to store each Sound instance you create and then loop through them when you want the volume to change. If you want to set each one depending on the volume it was already, you can do something like:

def set_all_volume(sounds,mult):
    for sound in sounds:
        vol = sound.get_volume()
        sound.set_volume(min(vol*mult,1.0))

Python – Calling a function of a module by using its name (a string)

Assuming module foo with method bar:

import foo
method_to_call = getattr(foo, 'bar')
result = method_to_call()

You could shorten lines 2 and 3 to:

result = getattr(foo, 'bar')()

if that makes more sense for your use case.

You can use getattr in this fashion on class instance bound methods, module-level methods, class methods... the list goes on.

Python – How to import a module given the full path

For Python 3.5+ use:

import importlib.util
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("module.name", "/path/to/file.py")
foo = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(foo)
foo.MyClass()

For Python 3.3 and 3.4 use:

from importlib.machinery import SourceFileLoader

foo = SourceFileLoader("module.name", "/path/to/file.py").load_module()
foo.MyClass()

(Although this has been deprecated in Python 3.4.)

For Python 2 use:

import imp

foo = imp.load_source('module.name', '/path/to/file.py')
foo.MyClass()

There are equivalent convenience functions for compiled Python files and DLLs.
