Manager: Sound Manager


Carbon supports most Sound Manager functions. The functions SetSoundVol, GetSoundVol, SndAddModifier, and SndControl were made obsolete by Sound Manager 3.0 and are replaced by other Sound Manager functions. For other functions that are no longer supported, QuickTime often provides simpler and more flexible alternatives.
