Hi,

To set the volume, you can look at the [`setVolume()`](http://code.compartmental.net/minim/audiooutput_method_setvolume.html) method for the `AudioOutput` class.

However I’ve tested myself on Processing 3.5.4 and it seems that this method is not supported :

- [Minim setting volume of an audioPlayer](https://discourse.processing.org/t/minim-setting-volume-of-an-audioplayer/3596/5)

So you can use the [`setGain()`](http://code.compartmental.net/minim/audiooutput_method_setgain.html) method in the `mouseMoved()` function that accepts decibels :

```auto
out.setGain(((float)mouseY / height) * 10);

```

However when printing the gain to the console, it stays limited at 6.0206 dB… Maybe someone have the solution 🙂

(`mouseY / height` return a number between `0` and `1` and since you want to have a float division, you cast the first number before)
