Do you really need to know if the *hardware* supports these controls? If the hardware does not support volume or mute controls then the audio system will provide them through software. You can activate IAudioEndpointVolume on microphones. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/CoreAud/htm/endpointvolumeapi.asp. We expect very few apps to actually need these functions though.

Is there a way in Vista to determine if the microphone supports these controls?
