Mute Gameplay
OnezerO:
Is there a way to mute the sound during gameplay? I want to be able to have my jukebox playing in the backgraound while I am playing a game and not be bothered by the game sounds. I would like to be able to assign a cabinet button to mute the gameplay sound; using AHK or any other method.
I am curently using the DOS version of MAME v0.102
Thanks in advance.

You could always just turn the volume down in MAME... I don't think there's a specific MUTE function.

Thanks for the quick response "brownshow". I have messed with the volume in MAME, but I have noticed that even with the volume turned all the way down you can still hear some sound, but more importantly using the volume is not a 1 button solution which is what I am looking for.
I have experimented with the ArcadeFX front end and I have noticed that you can turn the sound off completely using the admin controls and this only mutes MAME and not my juke box. This is what I am looking for, but I would prefer to be able to activate the mute feature from within an active game with a single button.
An acceptable solution would be to activate mute with a single button from within the front end. Since ArcadeFx is able to mute MAME I am sure that this function can be applied to other front ends as well.
By the way, if anyone is interested, I can post a simple AHK script that I wrote which will allow you to assign a single button that will switch between your jukebox program and your currently active game or if a game is not active between your jukebox program and your front end.

Nice, thanks for posting the solution you're using.

Or you know, you could just turn your speakers off like a normal person. :)
