I spent several hours scouring the web about this issue and found the module "Win32::Sound" that is available via ppm from ActiveState. Here is some sample code to mute and unmute the volume.
use Win32::Sound; Win32::Sound::Volume(0); # turn sound off Win32::Sound::Volume(65535); # set sound to max volume The module supports lots of other features. The details can be found here: http://www.xav.com/perl/site/lib/Win32/Sound.html My question is how do I include or access modules (like this one) that do not come with the default perl installion from ActiveState.

The problem is that there is no COM interface for controlling the Windows Mixer; you need to call functions inside winmm.dll (and I do not think rundll32 will work for this). - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
