Is the offending app run in your name, are you logged in all the time? If so, perhaps running your mute function as a personal cron item rather than a system one. I think any muting would have to be done as the same user as the app. I presume you can't fix the app, perhaps you can nobble it. Can you replace the sound file it plays? Perhaps you can ban it from pulseaudio. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 13:59:45 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
