Ack! You sure you want to do this, Don? Pin 17 is bipolar drive, so you
would be shorting a relatively high-current output (25 mA per spec) to
ground. That has a good potential for letting smoke out of the MCU.
IF you do this, I HIGHLY recommend a current limiting protection
resistor in the circuit. A few hundred ohms should do, but might also
affect muting operation...

For something more temporary, an open collector transistor connected
to pin 17 of the MCU (Control Board U6) would do the job for you -
drive the base of the transistor with 3 to 5 volts to turn it on when
you want the K2 muted. A 2N2222 or similar should work just fine.
