Introduction

Well, as a game developer, you are going to use lots of sounds, and one or couple of music for your game to make it interesting. Sometimes player wants to mute the game sounds for some reason, and using keyboard to mute & return sounds is quite unprofessional to do plus the player may not notice that the sound has been muted, so he may think that the game has a bug! ( Which we all don't want that as developers)
