Control Mute or Audio Volume

I'm creating a presentation program to be distributed on CD. Works well,
but now client wants option to allow viewer to mute the audio on their
system if desired.

I'd like to get the current volume level, save it, set the level to zero,
and then back to original level when program ends.

or

Get the audio mute status, mute the system, restore the original mute status
when the program ends.

I've seen some huge code samples developing whole mixers, etc., there must
be an easier way like
GetVolumeLevel, SetVolumeLevel.

Thanks,
Doug

Use the class module only.
