You don’t need to write a driver to control application volume. There’s an API
for that.

There’s also already UI in Windows that users can use to control application
volume.

Hi,
Thank you for clarification that was clear.
The main purpose of it was to gain control over each application stream volume.
As I don't think we can override the application volume in driver either.
Thanks,

Since Windows Vista, no.
Windows mixes audio from all the applications together (inside the “user-mode
audio engine”) and hands the result of the mix to the audio driver, which is
expected to hand it directly to the digital-to-analog converter without further
mixing.
(It’s actually a little more complicated than that, but that’s the basic idea.)
But what are you really trying to do? Suppose I had said “yes”. What is your
scenario? Why do you want to mix inside an audio driver?

Hi,
When multiple applications sends audio stream, global mixer is mixing audio.
Is there a way to mix it inside driver. Can driver do that?
Thanks,

Sorry, but I don’t follow what you’re trying to do. Can you elaborate? Maybe
draw some audio flow diagrams?

Hi,
lets forget about kmixer.sys.
What about KSCATEGORY_MIXER ? Can it be used for getting separate application
stream and later mix on my own?
Or, is there any other way ?
Thanks,

Whatever MSDN document you found should be removed; kmixer.sys hasn’t existed

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Mixing applications audio stream in driver
Hi,
According to msdn document, I found Kmixer.sys does mixing and gave back mixed
data stream through IMiniportWaveRTStream
Is there any way to mix it in driver.
I found KSCATEGORY_MIXER in ks.h, what does it really do? Is it the one for
each application stream mixing?
Also I found term hardware mixing. What mixing it refers to?
I am working on virtual driver.
One more thing can we override the volume control of each application like
master/Endpoint volume in driver?
Thanks,
