plugin control of sound card MUTE

[paulg]

I would like to MUTE the master valume on my sound card when exiting MyAlbums 2. If I don't then the TV records also play over my whole house speaker system. Any ideas?

hmm.. the only way i know is to import waveOutSetVolume from winmm.dll... which is not the master volume and not really 'mute'

Code:

[ DllImport( "winmm.dll", EntryPoint="waveOutSetVolume" )]
private static extern long waveOutSetVolume(long uDeviceID, long dwVolume);

by calling

Code:

long retval = retval=auxSetVolume(0,0);

you set the volume to 0... calling auxSetVolume(0,0xFFFFFFFF) sets both speaker to full volume.

btw: the hex-value is for both speakers. the first four digits for the left, the last four digits for the right speaker (or vice versa). 0x0000FFFF sets one of them to full, the other to 0.

low tech answer either use a second sound card for gbpvr [which is what I do] and or I have a box I got from tandy years ago for controlling upto 3 tapedecks allowing you to copy between multiple ones I now use this as a means of switching off gbpvr from my house stereo system
