How do you change the master volume setting?

I have a program that is attempting to control the master volume of the program-users system, however attempts at altering this setting only allowed me to change the wave, midi, etc. volumes. Is it possible to change the master volume setting at all through a software application?and if so, how might I accomplish this?

Hi GabeinOZ,

The master volume is set by the soundcard driver. MMSystem drives the sound relative to this one. At the moment I don't know how to change the driver... Sorry

Hi GabeinOZ,

Ok, found it.... on the net.... great all these programmers!

Look at this one :

TVolumeControl: Want your own Win95 volume control in your applications? Then use this. And link it to the
TBalanceControl component for a complete package. Control the Master, CD, Mic, Auxillary, Midi, Wave, Line-In volume
levels.

TBalanceControl: Link the balance control to the TVolumeControl to have your own volume and balance control package in
your applications. Control the Master, CD, Mic, Auxillary, Midi, Wave, Line-In balance levels.

I've gotten it to work on a soundblaster card but cant get it to work on an ESS soundcard and thats where my real problem is. I know there is a way that windows handles it(we have an NEC with an ESS soundcard and all the volume settings are functional through windows)but I am unable to see how windows does it.
