Remarks
The volume is specified in hundredths of decibels (dB) of attenuation. Allowable values are between DSBVOLUME_MAX (no attenuation) and DSBVOLUME_MIN (silence). These values are defined as 0 and -10,000, respectively. The value DSBVOLUME_MAX represents the original, unadjusted volume of the sound. The value DSBVOLUME_MIN indicates an audio volume attenuated by 100 dB, which, for practical purposes, is silence.
