Dexpot and Muting the Sound

Hello,

I'm a new user of Dexpot and I want to do something, I'm not sure if it's posible. Let me explain, I'm surfing the web, looking some videos where I work (bad\very bad), and I'd like to be able to switch to another desktop where the sound is mute.

I have tried the desktops configuration but didn't find any feature relative to the sound.

This kind of trick would so save my life sometimes : Windows key + right, Tada it's another world :wink: . Thanks in advance for your answers (and sorry for my english)

not possible. And most probably won't be.

Can't you just store the value of the current sound level for each desktop between switches and set it accordingly?

Hi,

i've found a trick to do that. It is not absolutely what I wanted to do, but it works.

  • Go to http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
  • put the files in a folder, like c:\0\nircmd for example.
  • go to Desktop Configuration
  • in the start tab, enter in the Command Field the following command : "c:\0\nircmd\nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 1" (without the quotes)
  • in Event, select Every Exit, in Close select Never
  • Apply

So, when you exit the desktop, the general sound mutes, it helps.

I would like to only mute the sound coming from the applications present in the exiting desktop, but I don't find how to do that.
