\qmlproperty real Video::volume
- This property holds the volume of the audio output, from 0.0 (silent) to 1.0 (maximum volume).
+ This property holds the audio volume.
+
+ The volume is scaled linearly from \c 0.0 (silence) to \c 1.0 (full volume). Values outside
+ this range will be clamped.
+
+ The default volume is \c 1.0.
+
+ UI volume controls should usually be scaled nonlinearly. For example, using a logarithmic
+ scale will produce linear changes in perceived loudness, which is what a user would normally
+ expect from a volume control. See \l {QtMultimedia::QtMultimedia::convertVolume()}{QtMultimedia.convertVolume()}
+ for more details.
