Getting state of mute button on levels tab for Audio device in Vista using Sound dialog

[GrizDoug]

When getting state of mute button on levels tab for Audio device in Vista using Sound dialog at Playback tab, need a way to determine if the button is in the muted or un-muted state. I looked at _GUICtrlButton_GetState() and that did not provide any useful information that can help determine whether the button is in the muted or un-muted state. The Sound dialog is displayed by right-clicking the white speaker icon in the tray at the lower right of the windows screen and selecting Playback devices. Does anyone know a way to get the state information from a button that was not developed as a GUI item in AutoIt? Thanks in advance.

Maybe another way to approach this is to ask if there is a way to set the mute button to "Mute" no matter what setting it has (muted or un-muted)?
