Check whether audio is muted

Post by arobin4 » Fri Feb 20, 2015 7:15 pm

Hello forum,

Is there a way to check the state of the audio on the PC? Specifically if it is muted or unmuted?

Thanks!
Aaron

Couldn't you just check the image in your Windows Taskbar?

Hi MightCpa,

I was looking for an approach at the system level because in my use case the taskbar is guaranteed to be visible.
