How can I mute/unmute my sound from PowerShell

Question

Trying to write a PowerShell cmdlet that will mute the sound at start, unless already muted, and un-mute it at the end (only if it wasn\'t muted to begin with). Couldn\'t fi

Answer 1

I know it isn't PowerShell, but combining the answers from Michael and Diogo gives a one-line VBScript solution:

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys(chr(173))

Slap this in mute.vbs, and you can just double-click to toggle mute

• still works in Windows 10 (10586.104)
• no need to Set-ExecutionPolicy as you might with PowerShell
