a patch of mine uses jit.qt.video to playback a video with an audio track and triggers additional sounds via MSP. Currently, the volume of the MSP-based sounds is independent from Jitter's audio output on MS Windows. For instance, I can mute the system volume but still hear Max/MSPs audio output.

Is it possible to read the system's current volume and use it inside a Max patch, such that the MSP-volume follows the system volume? This should work especially when the patch is exported to a standalone Windows .EXE.

I know one can route the audio from jit.qt.video into MSP using spigot~, but with Windows 10, Max 32bit and Quicktime 7, it fails with the error message "jit.movie: error -2004 setting media soc". On Mac OS X, I can use spigot~ without any issues.

Any help on this issue would be very much appreciated!
