Well it's still possible to do that with AppleScript,
Search the archives, someone fairy recently open sourced a nice
NSSound category that allows volume control, just to make your life

That would be me :-)

Don't.
If I mute the sound, I don't want to hear a thing, even if this
machine is going to blow up.

Always worthwhile checking the archives before posting. The technique is
pretty well demonstrated here:

AudioDeviceSetProperty() is of
course more efficient but unless you're muting/unmuting the overall

But that isn't what the OP asked. The OP asks *how* to do it without
AppleScript - not *whether* to do it without AppleScript. Furthermore, the
OP is right that running an AppleScript from within Cocoa/Objective-C is
noticeably slower than going thru CoreAudio. m.
Actually, the OP said,
Thanks for the pointers. I'll take a look.
I should note that this isn't an computer emergency, this is a real
emergency, i.e. there is a hurricane coming and you need to be here.
Part of the requirements from the emergency first responders is that

lol.. I knew I should have specified that this is a product
