IOCTL_CDROM_GET_VOLUME IOCTL (ntddcdrm.h)

Determines the current volume for each of its device's audio ports. Obsolete, beginning with Windows Vista.

Major code

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Input buffer

Input buffer.

Input buffer length

Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength in the I/O stack location indicates the size, in bytes, of the buffer, which must be greater than or equal to sizeof(VOLUME_CONTROL).

Output buffer

The driver returns the VOLUME_CONTROL data in the buffer at Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer.

Output buffer length

Length of the VOLUME_CONTROL data.

Status block

The Information field is set to sizeof(VOLUME_CONTROL) when the Status field is set to STATUS_SUCCESS. Otherwise, the Information field is set to zero, and the Status field possibly can be set to STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_READY, STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR, STATUS_VERIFY_REQUIRED, or STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT.

Remarks

Beginning with Windows Vista, CDROM class drivers do not use this IOCTL. Prior to Windows Vista, this IOCTL was used for audio playback on older CD-ROM drives that supported direct audio output in hardware.

Client applications should use the Media Control Interface (MCI) API rather than issuing this IOCTL.
