Script that toggles mute on hover Topic is solved

[Net777infamous]

Code: Select all

#Persistent
SetTimer, Check, 200
Check:
last := proc, proc := mouseOver()
If (proc != last && proc = "vlc")
Run X:\mute.vbs
Return

mouseOver() {
 MouseGetPos,,, uid
 WinGet, proc, ProcessName, ahk_id %uid%
 Return StrReplace(proc, ".exe")
}

This script toggles mute when I hover over VLC media player. It works perfectly fine, but my only issue is that I have to always move the cursor in and out the window to mute and unmute. Is there anyway to automatically mute when outside the window and unmute when inside.


Thanks in advance!

@mikeyww
can't thank you enough. I'm wondering if there's a way to only mute a specific sound device and not the system/master volume. My vlc audio is routed to 'Line-in' and I'd just like to toggle mute that on hover.

You could always try setting the ComponentType. SoundSet

Code: Select all

#Persistent
SetTimer, Check, 200
Check:
last := proc
MouseGetPos,,, uid
WinGet, proc, ProcessName, ahk_id %uid%
If ((last = "vlc.exe") ^ (proc = "vlc.exe"))
 SoundSet, , Line proc = "vlc.exe" ? False : True,, Mute
Return

Something like this? Tried it, and it didn't work

Worth a try:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
componentType = Line
; componentType = Master
controlType   = Mute
SetTimer, Check, 200
Check:
last := proc
MouseGetPos,,, uid
WinGet, proc, ProcessName, ahk_id %uid%
If ((last = "vlc.exe") ^ (proc = "vlc.exe")) {
 newSetting := proc != "vlc.exe"
 SoundSet, %newSetting%, %componentType%, %controlType%
}
Return

Using the Soundcard analysis script, I managed to get a list of all component types on my pc. Strangely enough Line in isn't named LINE but Master and on Mixer 10. There are more than 18 Masters on the list and I've tried doing "Master:1" Master:2" and so forth but to no avail.

From your first post, it looks like you may have already set up a VBS script that works. There is also an AHK script with some handy functions. https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/21984-vista-audio-control-functions/
