Problem with "Mute Detection" in Volume-Meter

Post by Youkai1977 »

Hi Peoples :welcome:

... first of all Happy New Year in retrospect. ;-)

After more than a year in which no one saw or heard from me, because my Rainmeter projects were idle due to family problems, I have to turn to the experts here today.

It is about the following. An old skin of mine (M.A.R.S. Skin from 2018/2019, can be found here in the forum), receives a complete overhaul like new gimmik functions.
And that's exactly what I'm biting my teeth into. Because after more than a year of doing "nothing" in terms of programming with the Rainmeter, I was completely rusty.
The point is that when the sound on the PC is set to "mute", a corresponding loudspeaker icon should flash. I've managed everything so far.
But....

... if the sound was only briefly on "0" and immediately reset to normal, the loudspeaker symbol for "mute" still appears.
I've already found out that it's because of the "[! Delay]" command.
But I need it, because if the sound is "intentionally" set to "mute", the loudspeaker mute symbol should only appear 6 seconds later, "after" the "%" volume display that was "previously" displayed is gone.
As I said, everything works as I wanted. The only difference is that the "[! Delay]" command does not update the corresponding "Measure", and therefore the "Mute" icon appears when it shouldn't.
If I say "within" this "6-second delay" I mute the sound and make it loud again.
What do I have to change in the code that it no longer happens, but all other functions remain as programmed.

For a better understanding, here is the complete skin code. And also all files as a ZIP download

It's about the (active) measure -> "[MeasureAudio]"
As you can see, I have 2 versions of it (one with ";" deactivated) because I've been tinkering with it for days and really don't know what to do and how

CAUTION: a minimum resolution of 1440x900 pixels is required to display the skin

Try to add an IfConditionMode=1 option to the [MeasureAudio] measure.

Glad you got it working as expected.
