autoquiet

What does it do?

This project consists of two parts:

• A library, AutoQuietLib, which can watch for and enumerate audio sessions based on process name (using ProcessAudioWatcher) and expose them in objects that allow the consumer to watch for events and perform actions on them (using AudioSession).
• A console app, AutoQuietConsole, which will watch one process for audio and lower the volume of another process when audio begins perceptibly playing.

Can I try it?

Usage
