Muting?

[Gérôme Guillemin]

Hello !

Does anyone know of any way to programmatically mute the computer's speakers without affecting the level of incoming audio stream so that a recording process (like sndrec32) may proceed unaffected while the speakers are turned off without the use of Windows' built-in Volume Control?

Thanks for any reply !

Yours,
Gerome

What a pity this solution seems to be platform-dependent (Vista and up only, I presume...)

On older system like XP and previous, you will have to use the MIXER API, or the DirectSound API.

Thanks Patrice,

This gives the general direction to some further thought.
