✅ Mute Audio

Wavebox lets you quickly identify and mute audio in any app or tab. Whenever an app or tab plays sound, you'll see a small speaker icon on its icon or tab. Follow the steps below to silence unwanted noise:


Mute an App or Tab

  1. Right-click the app icon or tab that’s playing audio.
  2. Select Mute.
  3. The speaker icon will disappear, indicating that the app or tab is muted.

Unmute an App or Tab

  1. Right-click the muted icon or tab.
  2. Select Unmute to restore sound.
Note: The audio stays muted until you unmute it manually.

Use Focus Mode to Mute All Audio

Focus Mode can mute audio across Wavebox for a set time. While Focus Mode is active, no Wavebox app or tab can play sound. Turn Focus Mode off or let it expire to hear audio again.

  1. Open Focus Mode from the sidebar (the bell icon).
  2. Check the option to Mute Audio.
  3. Set a time limit or choose Until turned off.

Troubleshooting

  • Notification sounds: If you only want to silence notification chimes (but not other audio), adjust the app’s notification settings:
    • Right-click the app icon > App Settings > Badges & Notifications and set Notification Sound to “none.”
  • Persistent sounds: Some web apps have their own in-app sound settings. If muting notifications in Wavebox doesn’t help, check the app’s internal settings.
  • Need more help? If you still hear unwanted audio after these steps, visit the Wavebox Knowledge Base or contact Wavebox Support.
