Cakewalk ignores my windows master volume, how do I change that?

I'm using windows 10 but I think this problem exists in windows 8 too.

Thanks.

edit: apparently there's no fix if you're using asio drivers & your sound card doesn't allow volume control.

If you are using ASIO driver mode, then the Windows sound subsystem is completely bypassed.  This means that any Windows sound adjustment (Including volume) has no effect on the output.  This is by design.

If you want to control your master volume using windows (if that's what you want to call it) then try using MME as your driver mode.

Don't expect stellar results, latency will be awful but MME is part of the Windows soundcard.
