# HandleChangeDecibelValue

The system calls this virtual method when the control’s value changes.

```
virtual kern_return_t HandleChangeDecibelValue(float in_decibel_value);
```

## Parameters

`in_decibel_value`

The float decibel level value attempting to be set on the control.

## Return Value

`kIOReturnSuccess` on success. Upon success the control’s value should be updated.

## Discussion

The default implementation calls SetDecibelValue() and returns `kIOReturnSuccess`.
Subclass and override this method to handle changes to this control value and
return `kIOReturnSuccess` upon success.
