Information processing apparatus, volume control method, recording medium, and program
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus to which a sound output device for outputting sound based on digital audio data is connected, comprising:
- first receiving means for receiving setting data for setting a volume of sound output from the sound output device, the volume being set by a function implemented by a first computer executing a first program;
second receiving means for receiving a setting signal for setting a volume of sound output from the sound output device, the volume being supplied from setting means provided for the sound output device;
calculation means for calculating first volume control data that controls the volume of sound output from the sound output device based on the setting data and the setting signal, the volume being controlled by a second computer executing a second program; and
first output means for outputting the first volume control data to the sound output device.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus is connected to a sound output device for outputting sound based on digital audio data. The information processing apparatus includes the following elements. A first receiver receives setting data for setting a volume of sound output from the sound output device, the volume being set by a function implemented by a first computer executing a first program. A second receiver receives a setting signal for setting a volume of sound output from the sound output device, the volume being supplied from a setting unit provided for the sound output device. A calculator calculates first volume control data that controls the volume of sound output from the sound output device based on the setting data and the setting signal, the volume being controlled by a second computer executing a second program. A first output unit outputs the first volume control data to the sound output device.
