Windows 10: Win11: command-line utility to unmute sound?

I'm looking for a way to unmute the system sound on my Windows 11 laptop via a BAT file, via an EXE file, or via something else that can be run from the command line.I don't want to have to interact with any screens or issue any mouse clicks. I just want to have some sort of utility that I can run from the command line, and as soon as it's invoked, my system sound will then be un-muted.Does something like this exist?Thank you very much in advance.

:)

 

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile

 

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Current /? (-?) or / help (-help) parameter is invalid

 

muting sound with voice command

Hi, mptbowl

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



Audio is different from the text or screen displayed by the computer, voice ads are also part of the recorded audio, and as far as I know there really is no way to skip audio ads at this time. If the length of the ad is fixed, you might want to try the following:

To mute and unmute sound on your computer using voice commands, you can utilize the built-in voice assistant available in Windows. Here's how you can set it up:

1. Set Up Voice Activation:
   
   • Go to "Settings" on your Windows computer.
     
   • Click on "Privacy & Security" and then "Voice Activation."
     
   • Turn on the toggle switch for "Let apps listen for 'Hey Cortana'."
     
2. Use Voice Commands:
   
   • To mute the sound using voice commands, you can say "Hey Cortana, mute the volume" or "Hey Cortana, turn off the sound."
     
   • To unmute the sound, you can say "Hey Cortana, unmute the volume" or "Hey Cortana, turn on the sound."
     
3. Customize Commands: You can customize the voice commands based on your preferences by setting up specific phrases that Cortana recognizes for muting and unmuting the sound.
   
4. Alternative Voice Assistants: You can explore third-party applications that allow you to control your computer's sound settings through voice commands.
   

Please note that the effectiveness of voice commands may vary depending on the accuracy of the voice recognition system and the specific capabilities of the voice assistant you are using. Experiment with different voice commands and adjust settings to find what works best for your setup.



If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.
