DirectSoundBuffer.SetVolume

The DirectSoundBuffer.SetVolume method changes the volume of a sound buffer.

object.SetVolume(volume As Long)

Parameters

object

Object expression that resolves to a DirectSoundBuffer object.

volume

Volume requested for this sound buffer.

Error Codes

If the method fails, an error is raised and Err.Number may be set to one of the following error values.

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.
