It looks like this:

I find it inconvenient to adjust the volume of a specific software from the volume mixer (as shown in the figure below) every time I want to mute it. I wish there was a quick switch similar to the maximize and minimize buttons.

It will be only one exe file, which can be executed directly. (If it does not work properly, you may need to download .net framework 4.5 from Microsoft)

After executing the exe file, there will be a main window for displaying some information. It can be minimized (or will automatically minimize after 3 seconds).

Then, the mute icon will appear on any window that controls the volume (such as the first picture). If it is not used, it will automatically hide after a while, and it will appear again when the cursor is moved to the icon position.

Then, just press the button to mute/restore the volume.
Shortcut keys: LCtrl + B (mainly used in full-screen games and videos)

If this tool cannot mute full-screen games:
Please press Alt + Tab to return to the desktop and open the main window of bSoundMute. Press Refresh and try again.

1. Windows Media Player cannot be muted (but if you have opened the media player, you probably don't need my tool)
2. Flash videos in browsers cannot be muted (this should not be a big deal)
