A simulated round that runs in your browser. Change the conditions and the shaded part of the round, where the music is off, moves with them. The round is made up; the conditions and the two ways of cutting the sound are CS2 Auto-Pause’s.

What it does

Mutes your music when the round gets tense in Counter-Strike 2.

It can either pause whatever media is playing or turn one app’s volume down to zero in the Windows mixer. It sets up the game-state integration config for you in one click, and when the game feed doesn’t include how many players are alive, it reads that from the HUD.

  1. 01

    A background engine with two separate ways to cut audio, and a desktop app to control it

  2. 02

    One-click game-state integration setup

  3. 03

    Reads the alive count off the HUD when the game feed doesn’t have it

  4. 04

    Ships as a single self-contained file

Pause or mute

Two ways to cut the sound.

A background engine watches the game and does the cutting. A small WPF app sets the conditions and picks which way it works. It’s written in C# on .NET 9 and ships as a single self-contained file, though it isn’t available to download yet.

  1. 01

    Pause

    Stops whatever media is playing, then starts it again when you die or the round ends.

  2. 02

    Mute one app

    Turns a single app down to zero in the Windows mixer and puts it back afterward. Everything else, like voice chat, keeps its volume.
