In the Windows sound controls, there is a volume and mute checkbox on the mic. I need a script to uncheck the mute box. Any ideas? At one time I had traced the value in the registry but it was a while ago and I would rather not do a reg hack if I don't need to. Any ideas?
 
I am using a shell to launch the sound control panel and sendkeys to tab to the mute button and uncheck it, but its a bit clunky.
 
WMI only has methods for Reset and Set Power State for Win32_SoundDevice class, so I doubt you can script it other than through send keys to the GUI.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
