eventghost:
system > sound card > play sound

You could press mute using the same part of EventGhost, but I'm not sure how to abort it there. You could always use another external program that can be controlled like winamp, or foobar, and stop it instead.

Well I have tried with AutoHotkey which would be the most ideal solution but I can't make sound work there for some reason. i don't fancy the idea of having to open a program with a UI just to play a sound file.

I suggest you use CrystalWolf Audio Player. This is a very small, but very good audio player.

Remarks :

• The path to the file to be played can be specified as Command line options:. It can be also "{eg.event.payload}" (including the quotation marks !).
• In the combo box you can select Window options: Minimized, so it can be invisible.

If it is a big problem, you can use (for example) command line player DLC.

Note:
Command line options may be, for example -w "{eg.event.payload}" (including the quotation marks !).

from win32api import OpenProcess, TerminateProcess, CloseHandle
PROCESS_TERMINATE = 1
WMI = GetObject('winmgmts:')
processes = WMI.InstancesOf('Win32_Process')
p = WMI.ExecQuery('select * from Win32_Process where Name="dlc.exe"')
pid = p[0].Properties_('ProcessId').Value

handle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, False, pid)
TerminateProcess(handle, -1)
CloseHandle(handle)

I like the way you think.

Concerning my solution, I always have like 100 projects simultaneously, so I probably won't get thru with this for several months My automation setup is growing all the time, so much to keep track of
