    I mute Line-in, but it unmutes itself after time


    I have a video capture device and use line in for audio. When I do not use the device, I like to have line-in muted.

    In windows 7 this worked. In windows 10, it doesn't, because mute doesn't last. I can mute Line-in for a while but it always unmutes itself eventually. It seems especially to happen if i am away from the computer. Sleep/hibernate is disabled and the system does not log off or lock.

    Is there any way to prevent it from unmuting itself?

    Update:
    Additional testing has found that turning my monitor off and then turning back on instantly unmutes line in.

    I have my speakers plugged into the monitor, which is plugged in through Display Port.

    If I leave Volume Mixer open and then turn it off, then back on, the mixer goes blank and only shows the Realtek Mixer. I have to close volume mixer and open it again for it to show anything else and to be able to mute Line-In again.

    :)

  2. How to set "quiet hours"?

    Would you be interested in a way to mute your computer and then unmute it at the same time every day?

    I've looked around for a utility that would do that. There isn't anything out of the box, but a combination of NirCmd (which has a command line interface to mute and unmute your computer) with Windows Task Scheduler could accomplish this.
