Are there any known problems associated with the procedures GetSoundVol and SetSoundVol? I know you're not supposed to use these procedures at all, but I thought that I had written code that would avoid problems with, for example, interaction with the Control Panel. (When my program goes into the background, I restore the initial volume setting; and when the program comes back into the foreground, I set the volume to whatever it was when the user left, if necessary. However, sometimes, after leaving my program and using another program involving sound (including my own program in another partition), the volume becomes irregular when I return, fluctuating up and down without apparent reason. Is this explainable? All comments appreciated, Michael

If your program wrests with it as well, then it may be toggling back and forth between app environments. Of course if you (and the other programs) only SetSoundVol during major switching then who knows. john calhoun
