We've discussed this, but it seems, IIRC, that nobody ever found a solution. I'd like an app that would completely silence my TX, preferably a DA, but to paraphrase a song, any app would do. Right now I tap the clock icon in my statusbar and chose the silent option, then I go to skinui, and set the sound option to default. This silences most apps, but some apps still seem to make noise, bejeweled for one and another app called dice121 that emulates the game yahtzee.

Any chance of an app to silence everything? If that's not possible, or too difficult how about something to combine the two steps I already have to take (although that sounds more complicated to me)? (I haven't figured out how to do this with a mykbd macro - but that could be because I'm not very good with those)

There is an open-source DA from Pruss which just patches all Sound-playing API calls. This should work.

Yes, Alex's app (which I think is a hack to be managed with YAHM) does the trick nicely.

I use VolumeDA and just open it w/ MetaDA - you can adjust the sound types individually or turn all off by a ''Main Switch''.

I believe I tried VolumeDA and Alex's app before, but they did not stop the sounds from bejeweled, I wiil try again - Thanks!

Okay I tried VolumeDA and SoundDA. Neither stopped skinui sounds. Alex Pruss' Silence Hack did stop sound on almost everything, including bejeweled, but not dice121. Unfortunately it is managed by yahm, which is not as easy to turn on and off as a DA. If your reading this Alex, is it possible to make a DA that does what Silence Hack does?

Sorry... Tangent --> Where did you get SkinUI sounds? I use v2.0 and have never seen any sound files available...

Assuming you are a myKbd user, why not write a macro that will either

- launch YAHM/enable Silence Hack/return to current app

- launch YAHM/disable Silence Hack/return to current app

OR

- in dice121, access menu and kill sound in it's preferences

I didn't see your response till now. Killing the sound in dice121 is great! I was just thinking how I could write a macro in mykbd to enable say the b profile which has silence hack enabled and one that enabled the A profile which has SH disabled, or just turn silence hack on and off - not sure which is easier - It looks like I'll have to use Bird to figure out the button ID ...

Thanks

SkinUI has had soundpacks since version 2.0... funny, I thought a default packcame with the download?

Anyway, it looks like Dmitry has not yet released the app that lets you make your own packs. Soon, maybe?

With myKbd you don't need the button's ID, you just need the label. Let me know where I can download Dice121 and I will look into writing a macro to enable/disable sound.

The only soundpacks I have I got when beta testing 2.0. I have the default one and the one Dmitry wrote to emulate windows sounds. If skinui is set to the default soundpack then it responds to sound silencing, but if I set it to the xp soundpack (which is how I normally have it set) the only way I've found to silence it is to use Alex's sound hack.

I'd love to see some more development of soundpacks and skins for SkinUI 2.0!

AHA! No wonder it didn't work. I tried again and instead of putting <run YAHM><tap 9017>, I did <run YAHM><tap A> and it went to the a profile and I used another macro button to go to the B profile! Thanks for the heads up! I guess I'm so used to setting things up in 2PlayMe where I need the ID, that I just assumed that when mykbd asked for the label it meant the ID.
