VA Self-Mute
« on: January 21, 2020, 12:35:09 PM »
Hi there,

Apologies if this has already been asked/answered, couldn't find anything in searches or in the documentation. Part of VA is used as a music player/pseudo-radio and I'm looking for an option to be able to toggle mute on VA without actually stopping the sounds/music or commands. I've tried the obvious:

Code: [Select]
Toggle mute for application [VoiceAttack] audio
And it just doesn't want to even touch it's own audio. It'll do PC and other application volumes just fine. Is there just something I'm missing or is this not possible?

That should work, but you need to make sure the "Audio Output Type" option on the "Audio" tab of the VoiceAttack options window is set to "Integrated Components".

If that's set to "Windows Media Components", every sound played will spawn a new separate player instance, meaning muting VoiceAttack itself will not have any effect.
