I keep on thinking…wouldn't it be awesome if there was a mute button on scratch projects!
I think that it would just be a helpful tidbit, so that if scratchers preferred not hear sound but read the project, (for example) they could do so without any sound!

Oh,yes,awesome.

add [this idea] to [scratch  ]

set volume to (0) %

EDIT: You meant mute the sound when you're viewing the project? You can easily go down to your computer's Volume controls… but mute the project in Scratch… then I support.

I support. Where would it be? Could you provide mockups?

Ummm. Maybe. I see potential uses, but I also see very simple workarounds like:

Mute buttons can be coded into the project.

Click the mute button on keyboard.

Example of mute button here:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/24519961/

Very simple. No support.

The reason for this is some people don't code a mute button in to their project, and sometimes you don't want to mute other sounds on your computer. So support.

Although I could swear that this was a duplicate…

SPORES!

You could just make a mute button and use these scripts

when this sprite clicked
if <(muted?) = [0 ]> then
    
set [muted? v] to [1 ]
switch costume to [mute v]
end
if <(muted?) = [1 ]> then
    
set [muted v] to [0 ]
switch costume to [unmute v]
end

Then on the main sprite do

if <(muted?) = [1 ]> then
    
play sound [recording1 v]
end

Support.

To everyone saying you can code it, that doesn't mean everyone will code it, which leaves a built-in mute button as the only option.

well you can just mute your computer sound but I disagree why would you not want to watch a project with sound?

Project with no sound required but has annoying background music

Yes of course…but, most Scratchers do not put mute buttons on their projects.

Also, for example: Someone is using the computer you're using for music, meanwhile you're using scratch at the same time as the music is playing. If you click the mute button on the keyboard it will mute everything, including the person's music that is playing.

You want to mute the scratch projects because…you don't want to disturb someone's music for example!

On Windows you can use the sound options to mute only specific programs, but they could be listening to music online, or it could not be a Windows computer.

Maybe a mute option that clears when the green flag is pressed?

(Another sound option: feed back project sound output to microphone input instead of turning on the microphone.)

+support

I agree.

stop all sounds

Youtube

I don't care what anyone says, we need this and it can't be that hard to add just next to the green flag or stop sign.
