Webbrowser disable all audio output - from online radio to youtube

browser, c#, wpf

Solution

Here is how you can do it with ease. Not specific to WebBrowser though, but does what you requested: I just want from my application 100% mute, no sounds at all.

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WinformsWB
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        [DllImport("winmm.dll")]
        public static extern int waveOutGetVolume(IntPtr h, out uint dwVolume);

        [DllImport("winmm.dll")]
        public static extern int waveOutSetVolume(IntPtr h, uint dwVolume);

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // save the current volume
            uint _savedVolume;
            waveOutGetVolume(IntPtr.Zero, out _savedVolume);

            this.FormClosing += delegate 
            {
                // restore the volume upon exit
                waveOutSetVolume(IntPtr.Zero, _savedVolume);
            };

            // mute
            waveOutSetVolume(IntPtr.Zero, 0);
            this.webBrowser1.Navigate("http://youtube.com");
        }
    }
}

Problem

My webbrowser: XAML: ``` //... xmlns:my="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.Integration;assembly=WindowsFormsIntegration" //... <my:WindowsFormsHost Name="windowsFormsHost"/> ``` Code behind C#: ``` System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser Browser = new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser(); windowsFormsHost.Child = Browser; ``` My question is how to disable all audio output. I found this: C#: ``` private const int Feature = 21; //FEATURE_DISABLE_NAVIGATION_SOUNDS private const int SetFeatureOnProcess = 0x00000002; [DllImport("urlmon.dll")] [PreserveSig] [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Error)] static extern int CoInternetSetFeatureEnabled(int featureEntry, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] int dwFlags, bool fEnable); ``` Its fine, but this code disable only "click" sound, so its kind of useless in this case. I just want from my application 100% mute, no sounds at all. I've read that in this webbrowser it need to be done through Windows Sounds, but I cant really bielieve that I cant do this in code.
