WinMute

WinMute lets you automatically mute your PC volume on certain events (e. g. Screensaver, Workstation Lock, Shutdown, etc.).

Project mention: Mute speakers for Windows lock screen | reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey | 2022-10-12

I have a program (WinMute) which detects if the lock screen is activated and then mutes my speakers. It also detects if the lock screen is no longer active and unmutes the speakers. Is there a way to replicate this behaviour with a script? I have tried one or two I have found, but they didn't mute the speakers, and the one that seemed to be closer to what I wanted, was actually invoked with the "win + L" function. My laptop also brings up the lock screen if there is no activity for a while, so want the speakers muted/unmuted then as well.
