I was just wondering, is it possible to mute WMP/VLC/Firefox using VB .Net 2008/2010?
I don't mean add a control into my form and make that mute, I mean mute the actual external program.
Thanks.

this probably requires at least vista as the os.

go stomping through the msdn audio api pages.

You can mute Windows Media Player using SendMessage. (Or COM if you feel like dealing with that disaster.)

WM_COMMAND with 0x00004981 as the wparam will send the mute message to the player.

(You can use Spy++ to get these values.)

For Firefox it would more or less so depend on what is playing the sound/music. You can specifically mute Firefox if you have Vista/Win7 as Slov said, or you can attempt to find the inner child in the browser that is playing the sound and mute that.

For VLC you can use Spy++ to find the control name/id of the mute button and use SendMessage to press it as well. Or if it has a WM_COMMAND or WM_USER equivalent you can use that as well.
