Muting and controlling the volume

[John Clark]

Hello all,

I'm developing an application thats operation requires the volume NOT to be
muted - for notification purposes.

I've had a quick look round and don't seem to be having much luck - has
anyone done this before that can point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

JC

Actually, just muting all or unmuting all would be the biggest help - I'm
guessing this is some sort of API call with winmm?

Perhaps (VB6 code):

Private Declare Function waveOutSetVolum e Lib "Winmm" (ByVal wDeviceID As
Integer, ByVal dwVolume As Long) As Integer
Private Declare Function waveOutGetVolum e Lib "Winmm" (ByVal wDeviceID As
Integer, dwVolume As Long) As Integer

Private Sub Command1_Click( )
Dim a, i As Long
Dim tmp As String
a = waveOutGetVolum e(0, i)
tmp = "&h" & Right(Hex$(i), 4)
Text1 = CLng(tmp)
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click( )
Dim a, i As Long
Dim tmp, vol As String
vol = Text1
tmp = Right((Hex$(vol + 65536)), 4)
vol = CLng("&H" & tmp & tmp)
a = waveOutSetVolum e(0, vol)
End Sub
