Raising Volume With mciSendString

I am trying to turn the system volume up to the maximum using mciSendString. I have looked at the Microsoft factsheet on MCI and am at a loss. I am trying to play a .WAV file also and I am using MCI to do that, instead of PLAY (File) in LiveCode. Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Matthew.

Hi Matthew,
MCI, oh boy! I thought that this had been depercated aeons ago
Sorry, no idea aobut this Windows specific thingie, but maybe you
can simply use and set "the playloudness"!?
If you omit a target "set the playloudness of player xyz to XX", this will manage
the overall system volume -> set the playloudness to 50

What would I supply as "Player" the application name?

No! As I wrote: supply NOTHING!
In that case you set the system volume!
...
set the playloudness to 50
...
Will set the GLOBAL system volume to 1/2 (50%)
Please look up "playloudness" in the doctionary!
