Is there any way to mute the sound on only on a certain window/tab on Internet Explorer, Safari, or FireFox?

I don't want sound muted anywhere else except on that certain window, or tab. Is this possible?(I'm using Windows XP.) Asked by chasegran 39 months ago Similar questions: mute sound window tab Internet Explorer Safari FireFox Computers > Internet.

No, not as of yet...but they're working on it... You're not the only one who wants to be able to do this. I hate it when I'm trying to concentrate on something, and some annoying pop up that uses Flash audio is blaring in the background. Here's the posting that I found:2007-04-24tab-specific muteI've heard from a number of folks that it'd be very useful for Firefox to let you mute a particular tab in the browser, since more and more sites are incorporating music or other audio content, and users are leaving more tabs open in the background, and they don't necessarily want to hear those tabs while listening to tunes or working.So I looked around for a way to do this (ideally something I could integrate with site-specific preferences, so you could specify which sites are allowed to quack), and the closest I could find is FlashMute, a small Windows app written by Einar Otto Stangvik that mutes all Flash (and other browser-based sound).

It's like a global mute for browsers, and although it isn't open source, its author says it will be once he gets around to pushing it to Google Code. But it doesn't let you mute individual tabs, much less specific sites, so it's not quite the feature folks have been clamoring for.So I asked around a bit, and smart folks seem to think it would be very hard to well nigh impossible to implement this on Windows, except possibly on Vista with major changes to our plugin architecture. Anyone know different or know what the situation is on other platforms?

I have never found a way to do it. I think this site explains it best! IE can't play sounds, and hence has no volume control of it's own.

The music you hear in web pages comes from plugins, like Flash (think youtube) or Media Player embeded into a web page. Typically what you want /is/ possible, but not in the elegant way you want. It involves using the controls provided by each website.

Most sites that play music don't hide the player completely. There's usually a pause/mute button somewhere, but as these interfaces can be designed by the web author, there's no guarantee those controls will exist. uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=..." rel="nofollow">uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=...

The stort answer is no. The long answer is probably no what you asking is difficult to achieve because there are two kinds of volume controls and both are not a the tab level. The main volume control is general, common to all the programs.

The other control may be available at the level of the specific page visualized in the web browser. But this (which is not always available)is something specific to the page, not something that is tied to the tab. Sources: my opinion .

1 I can give you a back door way of doing this. If a particular web page is making an obnoxious noise, find the URL of the source, probably a . SWF file or maybe a midi (.MID).

Add it to your hosts file and direct it to 127.0.0.1. Open in notepad: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hostsadd the following line:127.0.0.1 your.obnoxious. UrlThat will short circuit the request to your localhost server, which will not know what to do with it.

You may see a funny message on the screen, but you won't hear the noise.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
