# canMute

Indicates whether the device supports muting audio output.

```
let canMute: Bool
```

## Discussion

When `true`, the device supports mute/unmute functionality, allowing users
to temporarily silence audio without changing the volume level. When `false`,
mute controls should not be presented in the user interface for this device.
