Mute Audio

[LincolnHT]

I love Dolphin Emulator, and I have it on my Macbook Air. It runs fast, and works well. My only complaint is that the audio is choppy on some games, and I sometimes I just want to listen to my own music in the background. Sadly, Dolphin only allows me to turn my audio down to 1%. I don't know if it's just my mac, or what. If it's not, I think it should be a feature.

A quick Google search got me this. It's really unfortunate that OSX lacks such a basic feature.

Changing the audio backend to "No Audio Output" is the equivalent to muting.

I thought you weren't supposed to do that, as it'd disable any and all DSP processing, including stuff that causes crashes when skipped.

Should be fine with current dev builds; that issue was fixed with the DSPHLE rewrite.

Isn't it stupid to only be able to set the volume to 1 and not 0?

I think that's an issue with the OS and not with the emulator itself. On PCs you can easily mute programs through the mixer.

Not really. Usually audio volume is calucalted logarithmic, so the zero isn't possible in this configuration. But we could just made a special case for this one. But iirc, we don't handle this volume internally, so it's the data provided by your audio backend.
