Disable sounds

[rrrado]

Is there some way how to disable playing of the system sounds (stored in registry) or any sounds for some process only? I need to turn off sounds in webbrowser hosted in my application but I don't want to turn them off for IE globally. Thank you!

Sorry for my poor English . There is a way to resolve this issue , but I didn't try it . That is to write a monitor-program hook all playsound funtion and make it(playsound funtion) disabled for the process.

But how can I hook to PlaySound calls?

Sorry for my poor English . You should study the hooks . If you search the hook as the keyword in this website, you could find something.

Which would disable all sounds. Not exactly the desired result.
