.TH Mix_Volume 3 "SDL_mixer 3.0.0" "SDL_mixer" "SDL_mixer3 FUNCTIONS"
.SH NAME
Mix_Volume \- Set the volume for a specific channel\[char46]
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include \(dqSDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h\(dq
.PP
.BI "int Mix_Volume(int channel, int volume);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The volume must be between 0 (silence) and 
.BR MIX_MAX_VOLUME

(full volume)\[char46] Note that 
.BR MIX_MAX_VOLUME
 is 128\[char46] Values
greater than 
.BR MIX_MAX_VOLUME
 are clamped to

.BR MIX_MAX_VOLUME
\[char46]

Specifying a negative volume will not change the current volume; as such,
this can be used to query the current volume without making changes, as
this function returns the previous (in this case, still-current) value\[char46]

If the specified channel is -1, this function sets the volume for all
channels, and returns _the average_ of all channels' volumes prior to this
call\[char46]

The default volume for a channel is 
.BR MIX_MAX_VOLUME
 (no
attenuation)\[char46]

.SH FUNCTION PARAMETERS
.TP
.I channel
the channel on set/query the volume on, or -1 for all channels\[char46]
.TP
.I volume
the new volume, between 0 and 
.BR MIX_MAX_VOLUME
, or -1 to query\[char46]
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns the previous volume\[char46] If the specified volume is -1, this returns
the current volume\[char46] If
.BR channel
is -1, this returns the average of all
channels\[char46]

.SH AVAILABILITY
This function is available since SDL_mixer 3\[char46]0\[char46]0\[char46]
