The waveOutSetVolume function sets the volume level of the specified waveform-audio output device.
MMRESULT waveOutSetVolume(
HWAVEOUT hwo,
DWORD dwVolume
);
Parameters
hwo
Handle of an open waveform-audio output device. This parameter can also be a device identifier.
dwVolume
New volume setting. The low-order word contains the left-channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right-channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence.
If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of dwVolume specifies the volume level, and the high-order word is ignored.
Identifier of the auxiliary output device to be queried.
lpdwVolume
Address of a variable to be filled with the current volume setting. The low-order word of this location contains the left channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence.
If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of the specified location contains the volume level.
The full 16-bit setting(s) set with the auxSetVolume function are returned, regardless of whether the device supports the full 16 bits of volume-level control.
