1. There is none.
2. A good sound player will let you set the volume, no need for a stupid "driver".
3. "PWM" is already (mostly) used to control the speaker
4. Just connect a variable resistor to your internal speaker, or connect the speaker output of your mainboard to the input of an "active" speaker box having a volume control button

Indeed ... this a an example about how some people prefer a horrible mess from a simple solution for a simple problem

... and how "windows" introduced the driver mess and destroyed any hardware standards ... finally damaging all other OS'es, and mostly DOS

... plus one reason why millions of lines of buggy code "must" be written to provide such "useful features" ... hack over hack over hack ... and why some "modern OS" or "modern software" bloats to many GiB of space for no reason
