How do you set the master volume for sound devices? There appears to be no simple way to do this; Every time I try to find something, I end up being bogged 10 miles deep in random WINMM functions that, in my opinion, should''ve been depreciated about 3 versions ago. Mind you, I don''t want to control the WAVE volume, I want the "What you Hear" volume, or in other words, what is set when you left-click the Sound tray icon.

waveOutSetVolume is the one you are looking for - simply pass in a handle to a device which was opened using waveOutOpen and a value for the volume.

These APIs probably have depreciated a lot, but unfortunately they have not been deprecated

It''s all there in the documentation.
