My computer speaker keeps going besides streaming

[damitch300]

I put the option on for automatic mute/unmute desktop audio but it doesnt work

Odd, it should work.

• Do you have special hardware, or standard laptop speakers?
• Have you tried rebooting the computer?
• Is there an error in the log?
• are things working when you mute manually?

[damitch300]

Standard Asus laptop speakers
I tried rebooting
There is no error
And when i mute manually then all speakers end

And when i mute manually then all speakers end

Including the Chromecast speaker? That's not how it's supposed to be. Capturing and streaming should continue when muted.

Windows 10 or Windows 11?

Windows 11

Thanks
I have no clue why it doesn't work for you. I'll try to do a test with Windows 11 later (never tried).

Just tried, automatic and manual mute/unmute work as expected... 🤔
I tried on Windows 11 with standard HP laptop speakers.

I confirm this issue. If I enable "Auto-mute" or mute manually, then sound on remote device also stops (after buffer time). How can I disable PC sound?

Windows 11, recording device: "Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio)"

Here's how I do it:
I plug in an external PC speaker, which disables the built-in PC speakers, then I turn the external speaker volume off.

NAudio is used to capture sound. There's also an issue at NAudio about this now.

Answer there:
"There can be different ways of "muting" speakers. One is to zero out all the samples in the stream. But other ways include turning volume control that is after the DAC. So it might be that this device has implemented muting differently from your other devices."

@FA-Bubba 's solution might be the best for you. Or cut the 3.5mm jack from an old headphone and plug that in your soundcard.
