Mute system volume based on scheduled events
Authored by: pbeyersdorf on Oct 04, '09 06:43:50AM

Nice idea. It got me thinking of other solutions that might be useful in environments (i.e. at work) where you rarely need the volume turned on. Perhaps rather than selectively muting it, one could keep it muted and selectively unmute it. A simple applescript like the one below could be assigned to a hotkey via butler or quicksilver and activated each time you need to turn the volume on. It would then shut the volume off again after 15 minutes.



set desiredVolume to 70
set volume output volume desiredVolume
delay 15*minutes
set volume output volume 0
