By , About.com Guide

Here's an example of controling the sound volume from Delphi:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
uses MMSystem;

type
   TVolumeRec = record
     case Integer of
       0: (LongVolume: Longint) ;
       1: (LeftVolume, RightVolume : Word) ;
     end;

const DeviceIndex=5
       {0:Wave
        1:MIDI
        2:CDAudio
        3:Line-In
        4:Microphone
        5:Master
        6:PC-loudspeaker}
    
procedure SetVolume(aVolume:Byte) ;
var Vol: TVolumeRec;
begin
   Vol.LeftVolume := aVolume shl 8;
   Vol.RightVolume:= Vol.LeftVolume;
   auxSetVolume(UINT(DeviceIndex), Vol.LongVolume) ;
end;

function GetVolume:Cardinal;
var Vol: TVolumeRec;
begin
   AuxGetVolume(UINT(DeviceIndex),@Vol.LongVolume) ;
   Result:=(Vol.LeftVolume + Vol.RightVolume) shr 9;
end;
