There's no one method for turning off sound in PPT. You'd actually need to
modify the presentation (setting slide transition sounds to None, the same for
any animation sounds and either deleting or changing the Play settings on any
included or linked sound files).

That'd mean working on a copy of the presentation rather than the original, I'd
think.

Lots of housekeeping; I'd be inclined to look for a way of muting the sound at
the system level instead.

Try searching google for combinations of win, api, sound, mute, volume etc

Hello Steve,

the hints, you gave me, if figured out before. But my problem is that I
start a presentation twice. The first presentation runs on a control monitor
and the second on a beamer. If the presentation contains sound I have a
double effect in my sound speaker. So one sound has to turn off to avoid this
circumstance. I guess, I must fix it with the operation system. Am I right?

Looking forward to your answer with interest.

Silly question perhaps, but why not just mute the sound on one of the systems?

Obviously I don't understand your setup entirely. It might help if you could
explain that a bit more. Thanks!
