WODM_GETVOLUME (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This message is used in an MMDRV_MESSAGE_PARAMS structure passed to the WAV_IOControl function to request a waveform output driver to return the current volume level setting for the specified device.

Parameters

  • uDeviceId
    Device identifier — 0, 1, 2, and so on — for the target device.
  • uMsg
    Specifies this structure.
  • dwUser
    Specifies a device instance identifier.
  • dwParam1
    Pointer to a DWORD location to receive the volume setting.
  • dwParam2
    Not used.

Return Values

MMSYSERR_NOERROR indicates success. Otherwise, the driver returns one of the MMSYSERR or WAVERR error values declared in the Mmsystem.h header file.

Remarks

The WAVEFORM API MANAGER sends this message by calling the audio driver's WAV_IOControl entry point through the DeviceIoControl function. Support for this message by drivers is optional. However, if the driver supports WODM_SETVOLUME, it must support this message. The following table shows which bytes in dwParam1 indicate the volume settings for both stereo and monaural audio channels.
