TURNING OFF VX SOUND IN XP

I'm getting sick of muting every time I want to play test something in VX (and don't necessarily want to listen to VX sounds), so I was wondering if there was any way I could mute VX specifically using Windows XP while still listening to Foobar (besides setting the BGM to OFF in every map). As far as I know there isn't any mode for switching off sound for specific applications in VX.

Thanks in advance!

I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks alot!
