- From here, click on the sound you want to add the control to. Then choose "Mute" since you want the ability for the button to mute and un-mute the sound, and make sure the button settings are set up like you want:
- Now, check and make sure the button works as expected. When you click on the button it should mute, and when you click it again it should un-mute. If you have to do any double presses, check that in Layout Mode when you click on the button it has Type: Alternating Value
