Do you want to mute the volume or silence the PC speakers with a keyboard shortcut? This will help if you rely on PC speakers to listen to music. And, this would be really handy, if suddenly your boss barges into your office room without any notice.

Unfortunately, you can not set such a nice keyboard shortcut with Windows (if you know, let me hear it)

So, here is a work around. Download and install Sound Control a small freeware.

Start Sound Control.

Right-click on the Sound Control icon on your taskbar and choose "Options".

Look under the tab "Mixer and Hot Keys". You should see an option to set a shortcut to Mute.

I have set a Win + X (windows key + X)  (I found it easy for me) for Mute. You can set a different combination with Ctrl , Alt or Win keys.

Test the Shortcut key. If you press the same shortcut, Mute will release and you will hear the sound.

You can set a shortcut to reduce or increase the volume.
