    Description:
    MuteControl is utility for Windows operating systems. It provides possibility to control audio devices via hotkeys and is aimed at gamers in first place. But if you have ever wished for an utility that would allow you to use push-to-talk system wide then you might would like to try it as well.
    MuteControl is built with .Net Framework v 4.5

    Features:
    - Binding any key combination as a hotkey.
    - Two independent modes of control - mute and push-to-talk.
    - Two independent modes of mute: (1) toggle the mute for group of devices by one global hotkey, and (2) toggle the mute for each of device by its personal hotkey.
    - Three modes of push-to-talk (independent for each device): (1) un-mute while hotkey is pressed, or (2) mute while hotkey is pressed, or (3) set the volume level while hotkey is pressed.
    - User can set volume level and toggle mute state for devices.
    - Utility subscribes to global notifications for audio devices so user can see the changes of mute state and of volume level in real time.
    - On the start utility removes its button from the taskbar and places its icon to the system tray.

    MuteControl utility consists of:
    - MuteControl.exe - utility executable;
    - MuteControl.exe.Config - utility configuration file;
    - RawInput.dll - wrapper library for capturing keyboard events;
    - Vannatech.CoreAudio.dll - wrapper library for accessing Windows API to control sound devices.

    Note:
    It was discovered that utility doesn`t receive raw input notifications if game (or any other app) is running with administrator`s privileges. In such case user can launch utility with administrator`s privileges to workaround this issue.

    Bundle with executable - http://www.mediafire.com/file/rs45sbjbjbpbmaw/MuteControl.zip

    Also feel free to offer your suggestions.

    Thank mbk1969 for this great utility.

    Note about unplugged and disabled audio devices:
    Utility only enumerates plugged and enabled devices at its start. So if you plugged device after the utility`s start you can refresh the list of devices manually (there is button for this).
