It may well be, I honestly don't know, sorry. I've had no need for such a program, so never really paid much attention to it other than to note its existence.

 This is correct. I dont' know if that would unmute, though. But I know
 there's another program that's supposed to be able to let you customize
 all your volume settings exactly how you want them, then with the touch of
 a hot key, all those setting will get restored.
