Building a Smart Audio Ducking/Pause Tool with Codex
imrat · x · 2026-07-07
Sharing an experience of using Codex to write a personal audio muting tool: it lowers the volume (ducks) for the first 10 seconds and pauses playback entirely during long dictations, using fade in/out transitions for smoother switching. The author notes that most built-in system mute features are either too abrupt, only lower the volume without pausing, or fail to work with scenarios like AirPlay.
