Sound Control on Key Press

This Python script enables you to control the sound (mute/unmute) of a specific program by pressing certain keys. It can be handy, for example, when you need to quickly mute a program without switching to it.

How it Works

The script listens for specific key presses using the pynput library. When a predefined key combination is detected, it mutes or unmutes the sound of the specified program using the Windows Core Audio API.

< Current Functionality >

• The application allows users to select the target program from a dropdown menu.
• Users can then assign custom hotkeys for muting and unmuting the selected program.
• After configuring the hotkeys, users can control the sound (mute/unmute) of the selected program by pressing the assigned keys.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/antisedativ/soundControl.git

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Open the main.py file and modify the PROGRAM variable to specify the name of the program whose sound you want to control.

2. Run the script:

   python main.py

3. Press the predefined key combination (default: AltGr + Ctrl) to mute/unmute the sound of the specified program.

OR

4. Run the script:

   pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --name "Sound Control" main.py

< Possible Improvements >

• Volume Adjustment Functionality: Implement features to adjust the volume of the target application, allowing users to increase or decrease the volume as needed.
• Enhanced Visual Appearance: Improve the aesthetics and user interface design to make the application more visually appealing and user-friendly.
