How do I tell if the master volume is muted?

I am using the following to mute/unmute the master audio on my computer. Now, I am looking for a way to determine the mute state. Is there a just as easy way to do this in C#?

    private const int APPCOMMAND_VOLUME_MUTE = 0x80000;
    private const int WM_APPCOMMAND = 0x319;
    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    public static extern IntPtr SendMessageW(IntPtr hWnd, int Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
