If people continue to have such difficulty disabling the player software's interference with this function, then I might have to simply have Hijack conceal the mute line from the player (but only when Hijack's extmute_* stuff is active).

In the meanwhile, since I'm away from my players & build environment right now, see if you can get the config.ini player stuff right (whatever right happens to be -- I don't use this stuff myself).
