Is it possible to adjust the volume of a played wav file with the System.Media namespace ?

I'm able to play the file with the code found on microsoft.com, but I can't find a way to set the volume at a given level.

C#

private void playSimpleSound()
{
    SoundPlayer simpleSound = new SoundPlayer(@"c:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav");
    simpleSound.Play();
}

It does not have its own volume. You can do one of two things: adjust the system volume level or modify the volume of the waveform you want to play.

On the system volume control, please see: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/45693-controlling-sound-volume-in-c%23[^].

You can also recalculate the waveform volume on the fly and output new waveform. Please see: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/42b46e40-4d4a-48f8-8681-9b0167cfe781/attenuating-soundplayer-volume?forum=csharpgeneral[^].
