Vista / win7 application volume management interface

Question

Which interface should I use to manage the volume of my application in Vista or Windows 7?

The programming language does not matter.

Answer 1

A Brief History of the Windows Audio API

Vista / W7 has several volume management points

You might want to use the ISimpleAudioVolume interface

Answer 2

This article / library has done this for me. Import it and use ONELINER to install a global application volume that works with the old-style API, which will also work on XP and 7.
