- hwo 
Handle to an open waveform-audio output device. This parameter can also be a device identifier. 
 
- pdwVolume 
Pointer to a variable to be filled with the current volume setting. The low-order word of this location contains the left-channel volume setting, and the high-order word contains the right-channel setting. A value of 0xFFFF represents full volume, and a value of 0x0000 is silence. 
If a device does not support both left and right volume control, the low-order word of the specified location contains the mono volume level. 
 
The full 16-bit setting(s) set with the waveOutSetVolume function is returned, regardless of whether the device supports the full 16 bits of volume-level control. |
