I'm wondering how to mute sound for an application on xp. I know in win 7 you can do it. My soundcard software doesn't seem to support application specific settings so don't know if there is a third party program that can do it or a windows setting that can do it.
Windows XP does not have application-specific volume control; this feature was added in Windows Vista. I'm not aware of any third-party software to do it.
It has a trial (not sure what the restrictions on trial are)
If it works and you like it, cost is $24.95 for a lifetime
license with full upgrades to newer versions.
