- Ever have the need to mute your sound card?
-
- How about controlling the volume from within Visual Basic?
-
- Well now you can. With the dcsMixer ActiveX control.
-
- This little activeX control allows you to set the master volume
- of your sound card, or to mute it.
-
- I had a need to mute my sound card. My system runs 24 hours a day,
- receiving faxes. I currently use WinFax software, with the sound
- annoncement turned on. Unfortunately, this announcement played at
- all times of the day and night. Sometimes waking members of the
- household. So I wanted a way a could control the sound card without
- intervention. After much searching of the internet, I found only
- one mixer control. When I tried to load this control on a form, it
- crashed. Now I was back to square one. Besides they wanted $35US
- (over $50 CDN). So I decided to do it myself. The results of which
- are in front of you.
