ROOMMUTE · LOCAL VOICE COORDINATION

Two microphones.
One conversation.

Gaming together in the same room? RoomMute temporarily lowers your microphone input when your partner speaks. Adjustable ducking keeps your voice chat under control — with a key to speak anyway.

VOICE CHAT IN THE SAME ROOM

Less overlap.
More control.

Choose your microphones and exchange IP addresses once. RoomMute then coordinates turns locally while your voice app keeps handling the conversation.

DUCKING

Lower instead of mute

Choose a remaining input level from 1 to 100%. RoomMute restores its own reduction after the other speaker finishes.

F8

Push to talk anyway

Hold F8 to restore your input immediately. Release to resume coordination. Record a key, Mouse3 (middle mouse button) or a combination such as Ctrl + 5; manual mute stays enabled.

AUTOMATIC

Ready when you sign in

Optional Windows startup and tray mode. Saved connections start automatically and retry if the microphone or partner is not ready yet.

FIRST SPEAKER WINS

Clear speaking priority

The first speaker keeps priority. Configurable priorities resolve nearly simultaneous starts.

ONE DASHBOARD

Tune everything in one place

Windows microphone volume, input meter, speech and silence thresholds, attack, release, ducking and IP addresses — with explanations and a German/English switch.

LOCAL ONLY

No audio upload

Only coordination status travels over your LAN. RoomMute does not record, transcribe or transmit your audio.

Your manual mute stays yours.

RoomMute restores its own input reduction. A manual mute is preserved, and an external volume choice is respected. Disconnecting the partner releases RoomMute’s reduction.

SET UP ON BOTH PCS

Set up once.
Then just play.

Windows 10/11, 64-bit, two PCs on the same trusted LAN. No separate .NET installation is required.

  1. Download & unpack

    Close an older RoomMute version from the tray. Unpack the ZIP into a local folder on each PC, keep all package files together and open RoomMute.exe.

  2. Choose microphone & partner

    Select the same input as your voice app. Enter the other PC’s IPv4 address on each side; leave UDP port 48731 on both PCs. Allow RoomMute through the Windows firewall on your private network if prompted.

  3. Apply & start automatically

    Adjust ducking and thresholds, keep automation active and enable Start with Windows. Apply changes and start the first session. Subsequent launches connect automatically; Start minimized keeps RoomMute in the tray.

Before you download

How do I get updates?

From version 1.5.0, RoomMute checks for stable GitHub releases and shows release notes in the app. Download and verify the ZIP, then choose Start new version. Your saved settings are kept.

Does this work with Discord or Teams?

RoomMute changes the Windows input level of the selected microphone. Use the same microphone in your voice app and test the actual result; behavior depends on your device and driver.

Does RoomMute remove echo?

RoomMute coordinates speaking and reduces microphone input. It is not an echo canceller or a speaker-recognition system. Microphone placement and sensible thresholds still matter.

What if the other PC starts later?

RoomMute keeps trying the saved connection. If your selected microphone or startup is temporarily unavailable, retries gradually increase to 30 seconds. Stop cancels pending automatic attempts.

How are downloads counted?

The same counter as Red Raven counts file requests through the download button. These are download requests, not unique people or confirmed completed installations.
