I don’t know, but are you absolutely definitely sure you want to
touch the MasterVolume control? IMAO only a mixer application (are you
writing one?) should touch that. You could easily blow your users
speakers (and ears) to oblivion.
Driver volume control definitely needs to be added to SDL as
SDL already does volume mixing by itself - two simple
[GS]etVolume functions should suffice.
See my post about “SDL audio performance” some days
ago how to set the WaveOut volume under Win32 - basically
it’s a waveOutSetVolume(WAVE_MAPPER, 0xffffffff) call.

3 WARPS TO URANUSDoesn’t this belong in OpenAL instead of SDL. SDL seems like it would
support OpenAL anyway so it wouldn’t be an issue…
No sense changing the API twice y’know…

Hello Markus !
with the “waveOutSetVolume” command, only the wave output is adjustable.
The SetVolume command doesn?t work.
Need i a sdk or direct x library ?
Thanks.

Just throw in the waveOutSetVolume call before
initializing SDL - its located in WINMM.DLL.
See the souce code in my other mail for what
it does.

3 WARPS TO URANUSReal world has shown that I need a patched and rebuilt SDL,
an enhanced SDL_mixer and some additional driver volume
control for my PySol sound server.
I’m happy to share all my fixes and enhancements with you, but
it’s up to Sam to decide what to include into the core components.
I know what I need

3 WARPS TO URANUSWhy on earth would you want to do that? Poeple don’t want their master
volume touched.
Ever had someone walk into your room and turn down your hifi? Annoying.On Tue, 18 Apr 2000, Alexander Moeltner wrote:

Bother! said PoohI’M Brian of Nazareth!
Sorry Martin,
but is your statement the ANSWER of my question ?
I need the volume adjust to calibrate the loudspeaker.

But you have to take into account what the sound card is connected to. You
can’t just go messing with a users master volume. I’m my case the voltage
of the line out on is too high for my amp.
Plain and simple: Adjusting the master volume is DANGEROUS.On Wed, 19 Apr 2000, Alexander Moeltner wrote:

Bother! said Pooh, as he fell into the nitric acid bath.
Hello Martin,
thanks for your tip.
but i know that is dangerous.

I’m sorry. I’m not against your own personal use of the master volume, I’m
just against adding this to SDL_mixer.On Wed, 19 Apr 2000, Alexander Moeltner wrote:
