What is MSSMixer?

The audio mixers associated with sound hardware are one of the most difficult components to program in the Microsoft Windows multimedia system.

MSSMixer is a control for monitoring and setting audio mixers in Windows, that provides considerable simplifications for an applications programmer.

Provided in ActiveX and (when registered) DLL variants, with source code, the control provides a simplified way of setting volumes, selecting channels, and setting other controls in the mixer. With care, applications can be developed that will work with a large number of different mixers whatever sound hardware is installed.

The control software is supplied with extensive documentation, interface libraries for VB, Delphi and VC++, and sample programs in VB and Delphi to enable the complexities of programming mixers to be understood and overcome.

The picture above shows the demonstration application supplied with MSSMixer. Click on the picture for a bigger version.

Once you've tried it, if you want to keep using the control after the 30-day evaluation period you will have to buy a licence (see below).

When you buy a licence, you get the unrestricted control in both ActiveX and DLL variants, interface libraries, and full source code for the software.

How to buy

To convert the 30-day evaluation into the unrestricted full product, you must buy a licence.

There are two types of licence:

	Single developer, non-commercial use (US$39.95): This licence allows a single developer to develop applications using the control for non-commercial use only (internal and freeware applications may include the control royalty-free; applications using the control may not be sold).
	Single developer, commercial use (US$139.95): This licence allows a single developer to develop applications using the control for commercial use. The control may be included with such applications royalty-free.
