mciSendString() should be the function you want. Look at that, as well as the setaudio command string. MCI reference can eb found in the MSDN, under Platform SDK->Graphics and Multimedia Services->Multimedia Audio->MCI.

yes, i know how to use the MCI send string but i wasn't aware that there was a mute function, i'll look into its properties as well as setaudio... thanx
ok well this will not work now that i've looked at it, u see i'm not playing media files so therefore i do not have a device id to send the setvolume command to. So the mci option would not work as i would have to open a file whether it be small .wav or whatnot, and leave it open which will take up memory and is not what i want... I want API that can interact witht the Volume properties of windows Sound Manager such as the icon in the systray....
Thanx
There should be a function or some such under Multimedia Audio in the MSDN. Take a look around, do a search, etc.

Yeah, check out the Audio Mixer Services section. That should give you what you need.

ok i'll look into it
