Any way to bind "mute system" through BigBox?

[Monsterclip]

I checked the bindings, and I see Volume Up and Volume Down, but is there any other way to set one of my control panel arcade buttons to mute? This would be a system mute obviously, but I'm assuming that's what the BB binding is doing anyway.

Thanks,

Possibly a user could create a plugin or an AHK script, but as it sits now LB does not have a binding for this.

An AHK hotkey can do that. All you would need is this one liner below. It works like a toggle hotkey, muting or unmuting your system volume accordingly. You can put this script into your startup applications in LaunchBox and tell it to launch only when Big Box launches. This way the script is always running when you do launch Big Box, and you can then hit your arcade panel button to mute/unmute when you want. Right now, it's using F12 as the hotkey. You can change that hotkey to whatever key or combo of keys you would like to match up with your arcade button or combo of them

 

;Toggle Mute/Unmute Volume
F12::Send {Volume_Mute}
