C# Show current volume status

[Jim_11]

Hello, I am doing an application in C# but I have a problem.
I need to show the volume status of the computer.
I created two pictures to show if the volume is muted or not.
I found this code but I get errors:

MMDeviceEnumerator devEnum = new MMDeviceEnumerator();
MMDevice defaultDevice = devEnum.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(EDataFlow.eRender, ERole.eMultimedia);
defaultDevice.AudioEndpointVolume.Mute = true;

So here I will put a condition to say that if it is true show the mute picture and so on
but it doesn't recognize
like [http://imagesia.com/volume_198j4]
What I have tried:

I tried this code but it shows some errors.
I saw in some forums that I must put this:
using CoreAudioApi;
But also it shows errors.

I was wondering the same recently and was looking to see if the app was muted. So I used this google.
https://www.google.com/search?q=GetApplicationMute+c%23

The first hit has an example to GetApplicationVolume() as well.

Did you find out to know if it is muted ?

@OP, it seems to work in VS2008 C# on W7 and W10 using the example at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14306048/controling-volume-mixer

Now that each app can mute and be volume controlled, well, it's complicated.
