Description
VOLUME controls how loud sfxlib output is. The one-argument statement changes the master volume, which affects the overall mix. The two-argument statement changes the volume for one channel, which is useful for balancing music, effects, and generated voices separately.
The function forms return the current master or channel volume. That lets a program save a value, fade it over time, or restore it later.
Volume changes affect sounds mixed through sfxlib. They do not change the operating system speaker volume.
