How do I edit the Default Volume?

Question

I'd like to set the default audio volume on the wordpress mediaelement.js player to be at 100% volume. It appears that the default is somewhere around 80%.

Can anyone tell me which bit of code I need to change in order to do this?

It'd be great if future versions of Wordpress come with a basic 'Settings' function for the now native player so we can alter thing like default volume and colours.

Answer 1

Got interested too with that question. So you have to go to your folder like:

/wordpress/wp-includes/js/mediaelement/

File name:

mediaelement-and-player.min.js

Ctrl+F and search for - startVolume

It found me 2 similar results startVolume:0.8; One probably for video and second for audio. So change it from 0.8 to 1. Then ctrl+F5 on your page and we're done! :)

Answer 2

Was trying to figure this out and didn't want to edit core files. Inside your theme's footer.php file add:

<!--Change Wordpress Audio Player Default Volume-->
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    if($.fn.mediaelementplayer) {
        $("audio").mediaelementplayer({
            success: function (mediaElement, domObject) {
                mediaElement.setVolume(1.0);
            }
        });
    }
});
</script>

Just change the 1.0 to whatever you want between 0.1-1.0
