volume
Attenuation of the volume, in hundredths of a decibel. See Remarks.
Error Codes
If the method fails, an error is raised and Err.Number may be set to one of the following error values.
| DSERR_CONTROLUNAVAIL |
| DSERR_GENERIC |
| DSERR_INVALIDPARAM |
| DSERR_PRIOLEVELNEEDED |
Remarks
The value of volume must be in the range from DSBVOLUME_MAX through DSBVOLUME_MIN. These constants 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.
