+### Global Volume Control
+```typescript
+// Set a global volume multiplier that affects all channels while preserving their relative levels.
+setGlobalVolume(volume);
+await setGlobalVolume(0.5); // Set global volume to 50%
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Get the current global volume level.
+getGlobalVolume();
+const globalVol = getGlobalVolume(); // Returns current global volume (0-1)
+console.log(`Global volume: ${(getGlobalVolume() * 100).toFixed(0)}%`);
+```
+
+**How Global Volume Works:**
+The global volume acts as a **global volume multiplier** - it scales all channel volumes proportionally while preserving their individual settings. This is perfect for implementing a global volume slider in your UI.
+
+```typescript
+// Example: Setting up different audio types with a global volume control
+await setChannelVolume(0, 0.3); // SFX channel at 30%
+await setChannelVolume(1, 0.7); // Music channel at 70%
+await setChannelVolume(2, 0.5); // Voice channel at 50%
+
+// User adjusts global volume slider to 50%
+await setGlobalVolume(0.5);
+
+// Actual playback volumes become:
+// - SFX: 30% × 50% = 15%
+// - Music: 70% × 50% = 35%
+// - Voice: 50% × 50% = 25%
+
+// Channel volumes remain at their original settings (0.3, 0.7, 0.5)
+// So when global volume is increased, ratios are preserved
+await setGlobalVolume(1.0); // Back to full volume
+// - SFX: 30% × 100% = 30%
+// - Music: 70% × 100% = 70%
+// - Voice: 50% × 100% = 50%
+```
+
+**Note:** `setAllChannelsVolume()` sets all channels to the **same** volume, while `setGlobalVolume()` **multiplies** all channels by the same amount, preserving their relative differences.
+
 ### Volume Ducking (Background Audio Reduction)
 ```typescript
 // Automatically reduce other channels' volume when priority audio plays.
