How to mute twilio calls in javascript

I am able to mute the sound going into the microphone, but not the sound coming out of the speakers. To be specific, I'm only trying to mute the Twilio call, not other sounds in the browser, and certainly not system sounds.

Its straightforward using the Javascript 1.4 library, without needing conference calls etc.

https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/client/connection

e.g.

Twilio.Device.activeConnection().mute(true);

Here is working example 

  $scope.togglePublishAudio = function togglePublishAudio() {
      $log.debug('Toggling publish audio');

      if (activeRoom.localParticipant.media.isMuted === false) {        
        $scope.isMuted = true;        
        activeRoom.localParticipant.media.mute();
      } else {
        $scope.isMuted = false;
        activeRoom.localParticipant.media.unmute();
      }

    };

In new Version of twilio 

  var localMedia = room.localParticipant;
  localMedia.tracks.forEach(function (track) {
    if (track.isEnabled) {
      track.disable();
      $scope.isPaused = true;
    } else {
      track.enable();
      $scope.isPaused = false;
    }
  });

if the call is between 2 persons only, then this can be done by creating a conference in twilio and muting the other person during the call. This will make the server reject the voice input from the other party.

However, to completely stop the sound on your side local, i would suggest using javascript to alter the flash player privileges to restrict the hardware access when you want the call to be muted.
