Creating A Soundboard in C# Visual Studio Sound Control Panel

I've been working on a fun little project wich is a SoundBoard & now I've stumbled on to a little issue, I get everything to work flawlessly, the only thing is that I really don't know how to add a Volume Control Bar since the volume in my software is really loud (it might be called a Volume Control Button). In any case, it's one of those where you can control the sound volume of the software, essentially its like a music player.

Does anyone know what I could try looking for?

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
        player.Stream = Properties.Resources.cow;
        player.Play();
    }
}

This is basically the code for every button.

I found this wich helped me a bit better, someone else might benefit from this aswell. Occurs when the Value property of a track bar changes, either by movement of the scroll box or by manipulation in code.

What you are looking for is a Slider control. You listen to the ValueChanged event and change the volume appropriately.

private void slider1_ValueChanged (object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<double> e)
{
    var slider   = sender as Slider;
    double value = slider.Value;
    // assuming media is some sort of media control object
    media.SetVolume (value);
}

You can set the maximum value of the slider, depending on your maximum volume. Or just do (value/slider.Maximum) to get the slider position as a percent value, then you could do volume = (value/slider.Maximum) * max_volume to set the volume as a percentage of the maximum.

EDIT: The SoundPlayer class does not support setting the volume, but SoundEffectInstance does. Please refer to the SoundEffectInstance MSDN article for more information. Hope this is helpful.
