The return value is in the range from DSBVOLUME_MAX through DSBVOLUME_MIN. These constants are defined as 0 and -10,000 respectively. The value DSBVOLUME_MAX represents the original, unadjusted volume of the sound. The value DSBVOLUME_MIN indicates an audio volume attenuated by 100 dB, which, for practical purposes, is silence.
