Question

Currently, I am using the following code to mute my application:

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
public static extern int waveOutSetVolume(IntPtr h, uint dwVolume);

private void mute()
{
    waveOutSetVolume(IntPtr.Zero, 0);
}

In Windows 7 it works but in windows XP it mutes the entire system and not only the application. How can I mute only the application in windows XP?

The WebBrowser control is the one generating the sound in my application (for example, if it plays a video).

Was it helpful?

Solution

Shamelessly posting an answer stolen from Thomas Levensque's comment:

The ability to change the volume on a per-application basis was new in Win7, IIRC, so it's not possible to do it in WinXP
