I was wondering if there is anyway that the mute function can be simulated using any software or workaround so that it can be mapped to some hotkey(s).The lack of a dedicated mute key in my laptop's keyboard is very annoying.
Simulating mute function using keyboard keys
Of course there must be dozen such turn around. One simple way is to find a script to mute speaker. And then from properties of that script file assign to it a global keyboard shortcut.
Another solution maybe to use a program, something called AutoHotKey to automate the mute task through keyboard shortcut.

Autohotkey solution:
This will set ScrollLock to mute.
TO use:
save quoted text in a file.
Save file as anything.ahk
install autohotkey
run anything.ahk by doubleclicking.

But it also disables the Default function of that particular button IIRC. Anyway Scroll lock is of no use anyway.
