Hello

I hope someone one can help:

I want to try and achieve a code that will allow the Main volume to stay at Max but turn the Wave Input Volume (Sound from a website/Spotify etc) within the Mixer down individually when I play a sound through Excel.

The code I have only turns down the sound in the Excel output, here's the code:

Sub MySetting()
' Open the mixer with deviceID 0.
rc = mixerOpen(hmixer, 0, 0, 0, 0)
If ((MMSYSERR_NOERROR <> rc)) Then
MsgBox "Couldn't open the mixer."
Exit Sub
End If


' Get the waveout volume control
ok = GetVolumeControl(hmixer, _
MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_SPEAKERS, _
MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_VOLUME, _
volCtrl)
If ok Then
SetVolumeControl hmixer, volCtrl, 0
End If
End Sub

Option Explicit
