No, it cannot. Here is source adapted from an answer to Adjusting master volume on coderanch. The source iterates the available lines, checks if they have a control of the right type, and if so, puts them in a GUI attached to a JSlider

System.out.println("mixer name: " + mixerInfo.getName());

FloatControl volCtrl = (FloatControl)line.getControl(

VolumeSlider vs = new VolumeSlider(volCtrl);
gui.add( new JLabel(volCtrl.toString()) );

On this Windows 7 machine I get two controls, both from the “Java Sound Audio Engine”. Neither has any effect on the current system volume.
run:
There are 4 mixer info objects

Swap FloatControl.Type.MASTER_GAIN for FloatControl.Type.VOLUME to see.. no controls.
