Does somebody know how to mute all the sound of a presentation (video, sound
files...)? I want to do that from a CSharp application.
 
Gallardo,

A lot of keyboards these days have a 'mute' button on them. This stops all
the sounds for the whole PC.

Or click the 'speak icon' on the task bar (bottom right) and click 'mute'

First of all, Tanks for anserring.

The thing is I don't want to mute all Windows. My c# application is not
running only Powerpoint. I want to mute all the sounds that come's out of
Powerpoint but not the other sounds like imported sounds. I can not find
anything in the object model that allow me to do it. I hope there is a way to
achieve this.

Tanks again

There's nothing like this in the object model.

PowerPoint basically hands the sounds off to Windows to play, it doesn't play
them itself.

You might be able to make a copy of the PPT, visit each slide and shape to
determine whether it has a transition/animation sound and if so, whether it's
one you want to allow or not; if not, remove it.
