Auto Mute Windows System Sounds
Automatically disable Windows system sounds while streaming or recording in OBS, then restore them when you're done.
About Auto Mute
Auto Mute prevents random Windows notification sounds, USB disconnect tones, and other system sounds from interrupting your stream or recording.
When OBS starts streaming or recording, the script automatically disables Windows system sounds. When OBS stops, your original sound scheme is restored.
Set it once and let OBS handle the rest.
Download Auto Mute
Downloads are handled through Ko-fi so every version stays in one place and you always have access to the current release.
Features
Fully Automatic
Windows system sounds are disabled when OBS starts streaming or recording and restored when OBS stops.
Keeps Your Sound Scheme

No Audio Interference
Your microphone, game audio, music, and other stream audio remain untouched.
Portable Setup
Drop the folder wherever you want and load the Lua script directly into OBS.
No Plugins or Installs
No additional OBS plugins or third-party applications are required.

Keep Auto Mute Updated
I occasionally update my scripts and tools as Streamer.bot, Twitch, OBS, and other services change.
