This will be a tough one for you all. I am trying to create an app where it can control the volume and mute channels of my sound card.
(eg. Front Rear Center Subwoofer)

I made one which basically controlled Windows Volume Control which worked great. Any how having had to fit a higher quality sound card Windows Volume Control no longer has the options Front Rear etc.

So I am after any suggestions how to actually control these channel volumes within VB without interfacing with windows mixer.

Said it would be hard !
Any help would be greatfully recieved...

Regards
Paul

Hmn, I can't seem to find anything specific to changing the volumes of each channel, but I've found API's to work with stereo (2 channel) and it looks directsound (sub of directx) can handle multichannel devices, but it doesn't give me anything specific for changing the volume, here is some of the resources:
