im wondering if theres a way to set the volume to cetain max of my choosing. An example would be : Someone playing loud music to the max...i want to set it to a level of my choosing and no matter what volume control they have on the speakers or how high the setting is on volume control is in the volume taskbar, they never reach a higher volume then the one i set..Is there a way to do that?

Not really. You can turn the speakers up to maximum and set the master volume control in the system tray to the maximum you want to hear. But, that won't stop someone from changing the volume in the system tray when you aren't looking.

If this is to control kids, perhaps parental supervision is in order until they learn to follow the rules. Take the speaker cord with you when you walk away. ]:)

Yes, but you'll need to know some simple programming in order to do it.

Basically, make an application (sans-gui, so nobody will know it's running) that will check the current volume a couple times a second, and if it's higher than the 'max', reset it to a lower level.

"An application can get or set an audio adapter?s volume level by calling mixer API functions mixerGetControlDetails and mixerSetControlDetails. These functions use the MIXERCONTROLDETAILS structure to pass control information between the application and audio device. For more information, see the Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) documentation."
