    If you're asking about controls on Volume Control [sndvol32.exe], then here's a list.

    [SW synth] is MIDI software syntheser.

    [Line in] and [Mic] are related to connectors on the back (sometimes also front) of your PC - same shape as speaker, mic is pink (mono) and linein is blue (stereo).

    [Wave] means all music played by software via WaveOut interface (doesn't affect DirectSound)

    [TAD in], [Phone] or [Modem in] is modem connection - if you have voice-compatible modem and connected it to sound card (two (maybe four) pins on the board)

    [CD-Audio] means music played from audio CDs - analog, via 4-pin cable directly from CD drive to sound card.

    [What you hear] (SoundBlaster) means exactly that. It includes CD, MIDI, wave, maybe line in and phone

    [Aux in] is a connector on the sound card's board similar to TAD in or CD audio

    [PC speaker] is the speaker inside the PC, usually on the bottom, used mainly for beeping BIOS error codes

    [SPDIF] means digital (coaxial or optical) input/output on some PCs.

    Some 7.1 or 5.1 cards have controls [Front], [Side], [Center], [Subwoofer], or [Rear]. Those control the main level for those speakers separately.

    For some sound cards:
    If you enable full view [Ctrl+S] (default) in Volume Control and check Options > Advanced, you can see a button named "Advanced" below some controls. Usually you can tune the bass or treble, and some drivers add their options like [Mic boost] for [Mic], and [Digital out] for [Volume]
