sound problem with DirectX volume control

hi,

I have an instance of DirectX's audio player called :

Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio DXShipFires = new Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio("C:\\Games\\Asteroids_C#\\ShipFires.wav");

and the playback

playSound(DXShipFires);

private void playSound(Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio DXThisAudio)

{

//DXThisAudio.Volume = (int) nudVolume.value;

DXThisAudio.CurrentPosition = 0.0;

DXThisAudio.Play();

}

works fine ... except, as you can see the commented out line, which refuses to work with any value other than zero and is still much, much too loud!

I don't know how to set the volume despite looking at the volume property's calling header which reads 'int Audio.Volume' !?!

any ideas?

0 is max loudness. Try -10000. good luck

Great .
at -10000 you can't hear anything but the negative values are where its at...

thank you
