Im using Yuuutu's engine.
Is there a way to lower the volume of each sound file you have in Game maker? I have tried sound_volume(), but this doesnt work.

There are two(?) options I know of for how to do this:
-SSound(?)
-Audacity
I'm not sure about what exactly SSound does, since I've never actually used it, but Audacity is useful for editing sounds and etc.

Download audacity (https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/files/latest/download) and import your audio file into it. Next go to edit > select > all (or just press CTRL+A) and then go to effect and you should see something that says "Amplify...". Click that and use the slider to set the new peak amplitude to a negative value (you can use the preview button so you don't have to keep opening this) until it sounds like it's a reasonable volume then click OK. After that go to file > export audio and save the audio file as an .mp3/.ogg (these are the formats that are used for actual music, but note that to export to .mp3, you'll need the LAME encoder which can be found here (https://lame.buanzo.org/Lame_v3.99.3_for_Windows.exe)) or you can save it as a .wav (this is the format typically used for sound effects/short sounds, NEVER use this format for full length songs, they will have a very large file size and can cause gamemaker to crash).
