Some render devices support compressed formats (e.g., S/PDIF-ized Dolby 
Digital). If an app is playing to the device using a compressed format, Windows 
will not be able to perform software volume or software mute.

So, Windows recommends having at least a hardware mute on devices that support 
compressed formats.

Yes.  There is hardware that does not have these controls (e.g., the Edirol 
UA-1A).

Yes.
