Audio silencing

When you’re running loads of apps, muting one of them should be a cinch

It’s a pain when you’re working away and music starts blaring from… somewhere. A web browser’s often the culprit, although not always. Regardless, it’s annoying that you can’t mute specific apps – only your entire Mac. Yet there’s a logical place for greater audio control: the menu bar’s volume icon. å- click it and you get output and input settings. A new submenu, listing noisy apps and enabling you to silence them, would be heaven.
