Hello Matthew, I checked the same code under XP SP3 x86. In the Volume Control application (sndvol32), Master Volume slider and mute checkbox send volume/mute requests to all 6/8 channels of the appropriate TOPOLOGY filter nodes, WAVE filter nodes are not affected. If I open channel subslider window, each subslider sends volume control requests to the appropriate channel only. I thought Volume/Pan/Supermix/Sum nodes in a WAVE filter are used only for stream volume control. Why Win7 associates them with Volume Control Applet sliders instead of TOPOLOGY filter nodes when there are no streams at all?
