How to stop sound from the browser only.

[evereddie]

Is there a way to stop all of the sound coming from the browser while leaving the normal pc sound functioning. I know I could probably remove all of the plug-ins in IE and that might stop the sound but would probably mess up other functions and at times I still need the browser sound to function.

I am using a computer in a radio studio and the dj will be playing sounds cuts. he also has the browser up and occassinally a site with embeded sound will get it's audio on -air.

I'll try that but I need a way to turn it off and have it stay that way. A annouuncer does not have the time (or presence of mind) to browse web pages and every time he gets to 1 to hit escape.


I just found that there is a check box in the advanced tools in the browser to 'stop playing audio in web pages'. Will it stop all sounds including flash. Also it would be great to have this controlled by a icon on the desktop. A sort of toggle on and off.
