I don't think QT3 Mix obeys the sound volume. You need to use BuddyAPI to
set the system volume directly. This has been a known issue for some time.
If I understand what you are attempting, your code could be rewritten more
simply as:
on startmovie
-- Try to use QT3Mix if at all possible
if the soundDevice <> "Qt3Mix" then
set the soundDevice = "Qt3Mix"
end if
-- If setting it to QT3Mix fails, try to use DirectSound
if the soundDevice <> "Qt3Mix" then
set the soundDevice = "DirectSound"
end if
end startMovie
Another option would be to use DirectSound if it is available, and only
revert to QT3Mix if MacroMix is in use (i.e. DirectSound is not available)
if the soundDevice = "MacroMix" then
set the soundDevice = "Qt3Mix"
end if
