O.P. MUTE button for msn
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to make a plugin (or maybe it's an idea for the next Plus! release...) that can MUTE msn messenger.
This way I can enjoy my movie/music/telephone call without the annoying sounds of messenger.
Good or stupid idea? What do you think?
Thanx
Barisko

Or just put your status as Busy, sounds won't be played while you're in that status.

True, but that's in Plus, and it's off by default. |

RE: MUTE button for msn
Here you go, made a simple plugin for you.
Type /xmute to mute MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger
and type /xunmute to reenable all the sounds.
Now what the plugin actually does is deletes the sound configuration from Windows then recreates it.
Enjoy
Again the Usage is
/xmute - Mutes Messenger
/xunmute - Unmutes Messenger
The program will record if your sounds are muted when you close messenger, if it is muted your registry will be backed up for next time you run it. Enjoy.

Messenger doesn't play sounds when your status is set to busy.
If you are talking on the phone just turn off the speaker!

What if you speakers dont have their own power source and run off your computers power? you would have to mute the volume yourself. this plugin is a quick and easy fix to it. Delete the option in Windows to play sounds for Windows/MSN Messenger and when its unmuted re enable them  |

RE: MUTE button for msn
There is just one small flaw: I don't thinki it will mute sound plugins.
My sound plugins use MCI, and therefore will always get played when the status is busy. I wouldn't be surprised to find Audiator does the same, as it uses FMOD.
