Disable audio from other programs?

in Core Library Questions • 2 years ago

HI all,

I am using the minim audio library. Could anyone please tell me whether there is any way to detect whether there is any audio playing in the speakers ( such as itunes, system sounds,etc) and then disable them before playing audio through the processing sketch.

I have googled for this and i have come across software like audio hijack pro. But i was looking for a native java functionality which would allow me to do this.

Thanks in advance,

cpv

I don't know if it is possible (it probably depends on the audio driver), but I know I wouldn't like that a program takes control of what I ear... I often want to cut out sound from Flash applets (games), or at least the music (sound effects are OK), rather than from my playlist (which I can mute myself, thanks).

I am trying to control an arduino using the audio jack plugged into my laptop. Hence i wanted to be able to diable other audio sources so that they do not affect the output...
