Volume Property

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

Note

This component is available for use in the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions.

 

The Volume property sets or retrieves the speaker volume for the audio stream output.

[ iVolume = ] MSWebDVD.Volume

Return Value

Returns the volume level as attenuation in decibels as an Integer.

Remarks

This property is read/write with a default value of 0. Full volume is 0, and 10,000 is silence; the scale is logarithmic. Multiply the desired decibel level by 100 (for example 10,000 = 100 dB).
