Using the waveOutSetVolume Win32 API

slloyd has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Can anyone tell me how to call the waveOutSetVolume API from within Perl. The Win32 SDK does not say what Import library it is in. I am assuming user32 but it does not work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

$waveOutSetVolume ||= new Win32::API("user32", "waveOutSetVolume", ['N
+', 'N'], 'N') || die "unable to load";
my $chk = $waveOutSetVolume->Call($hwnd, 0x6000);

The library you want is Winmm The docs you have must be different to my first google hit, which does say where to find this function.	[reply]
