Does anybody know how to restore the M (Mute) button in Movie Studio 2024. According to page 60 of the Manual it should be there, but it's missing from the timeline on my copy, which looks like the following:

@Ian-Schwartz The Mute button is the speaker looking icon, click it & it will turn red with a line through it.

But that doesn't mute video.

@Ian-Schwartz It does, it mutes whichever track you choose.

@Former user I tried that and I'm happy to report you are absolutely right.
Someone should tell Magix to update their manual:

Just installed the latest patch and I'm happy to see they put the M button back.

Hi Ian, John

It is good to see it back in MMS 2024, the speaker icons were so counter intuitive.

Now if they would also get it back in Video Pro X 15 - the latest update .204 has not changed the mute icon in VPX ???
