MidnightMuter V2

MidnightMuter V2 is a modern, context-aware sound muting addon for World of Warcraft Retail 12.1, built to give you much finer control over which game sounds are muted, when they are muted, and which important sounds are allowed through.

It has been rebuilt as part of the Midnight Addon Suite, with a completely modern interface, profile support, context automation, Competitive Audio tools, sound discovery, diagnostics, and MidnightShared integration.

MidnightMuter remains fully standalone, but integrates cleanly with the rest of the Midnight suite when available.

Features

Context-Aware Sound Muting

MidnightMuter can automatically apply different sound behavior depending on what you are doing.

Supported contexts include:

• Open World / Solo
• Open World / Group
• Rested Areas
• Dungeons
• Mythic+
• Raids
• Battlegrounds
• Arenas
• Scenarios / Delves

Each context can have its own category rules and automation behavior.

Sound Categories

Organize Sound IDs into categories instead of managing everything as one large list.

Included categories:

• Interface
• Notifications
• NPC Dialogue
• Combat
• Dungeon / Raid
• PvP
• Mounts / Pets
• Professions
• Custom

Each category can be enabled or disabled globally and separately for each context.

Competitive Audio

Competitive Audio reverses the normal muting logic.

Instead of deciding what should be muted, MidnightMuter can mute the managed sound set and only allow the sounds you consider important.

This is especially useful for:

• Arena
• Battlegrounds
• PvP-focused setups
• Reducing unnecessary combat noise
• Keeping important audio cues easier to hear

You control the allowlist yourself.

MidnightMuter does not disable WoW's entire sound system and does not pretend to bypass Blizzard's audio restrictions. Competitive Audio operates only on Sound IDs managed by MidnightMuter.

PvP Presets

Built-in Competitive Audio presets include:

• Arena Essential
• Arena Minimal
• PvP Signals Only
• Battleground Focus
• Healer Focus
• Melee Focus
• Ranged Focus
• Current-class focused presets

You can also save your own Competitive Audio allowlist as a custom preset.

Presets build from your verified and managed Sound IDs instead of relying on guessed sound data.

PvP Sound Classification

Managed sounds can be classified by PvP importance.

Cue Types

• Interrupt
• Crowd Control
• Major Offensive
• Major Defensive
• Trinket / CC Break
• PvP Objective
• Important Notification

Role Focus

• Healer
• Melee
• Ranged
• Universal

Class Focus

Supports all Retail classes.

This allows MidnightMuter to create more focused Competitive Audio presets as your verified sound library grows.

Context Automation

MidnightMuter can automatically switch audio strategy when your activity changes.

Each context can use:

• Normal Context Rules
• Competitive: Current Allowlist
• Competitive: Preset

Example:

Open World
→ Normal Audio Rules

Enter Arena
→ Arena Essential automatically activates

Leave Arena
→ Your normal audio configuration returns

Automation uses temporary runtime overrides and does not overwrite your saved Competitive Audio settings.

Sound Library

The Sound Library provides a searchable view of:

• MidnightMuter built-in sound records
• Your managed Sound IDs
• Competitive Audio allowlist IDs
• Verified Database entries

Search by:

• Name
• Sound ID
• Category
• Source

You can also preview, manage, unmanage, allow, and remove sounds directly from the interface.

Sound Inspector

The Sound Inspector provides a safe workflow for testing candidate WoW FileDataIDs.

You can:

• Enter a candidate Sound ID
• Add identification notes
• Preview the sound
• Manage it
• Add it to Competitive Audio
• Promote it into the Verified Database

World of Warcraft does not provide addons with a reliable global history of every sound being played, so MidnightMuter does not claim to automatically identify every sound in the game.

The Inspector is designed around manual, reliable verification.

Verified Sound Database

Once you identify a sound, it can be saved permanently in your profile as a verified record.

Verified sounds can contain:

• Sound ID / FileDataID
• Custom name
• Category
• Notes
• Verified status

Verified entries automatically appear in the Sound Library.

MidnightMuter deliberately avoids filling the addon with guessed or unreliable FileDataIDs.

Profiles

Full profile support is included.

You can:

• Create profiles
• Switch profiles
• Copy profiles
• Reset profiles
• Delete unused profiles

Profiles store your:

• Sound IDs
• Categories
• Context rules
• Verified Database
• PvP classifications
• Competitive Audio settings
• Presets
• Automation
• Appearance

Midnight Suite Integration

MidnightMuter uses the same modern visual direction as the rest of the Midnight Addon Suite.

When MidnightShared is installed, MidnightMuter can follow the shared suite theme.

When MidnightShared is not installed, MidnightMuter works completely standalone.

Appearance options include:

• LibSharedMedia fonts
• Font scale
• Font outline
• UI scale
• Local accent color
• MidnightShared theme integration

Diagnostics & Recovery

A dedicated Diagnostics page provides live information about:

• Active context
• Current profile
• Managed Sound IDs
• Applied mutes
• Competitive Audio state
• Automation status
• Active preset
• MidnightShared connection
• Database health

Recovery Tools

Temporarily Unmute All

Immediately releases every sound currently muted by MidnightMuter.

A confirmation popup is shown before anything happens.

Your saved Sound IDs, profiles, presets and settings are not deleted.

Resume Configured Muting

Restores the current profile's normal MidnightMuter rules.

Performance & WoW 12.1 Safety

MidnightMuter is designed to stay lightweight.

It does not use:

• Continuous OnUpdate sound scanning
• Protected frame manipulation
• Secret-value inspection
• Combat-log scanning for audio
• Frame-by-frame polling

Sound state is recalculated only when relevant settings, profiles or contexts change.

Commands

/mmuter

Opens MidnightMuter settings.

/midnightmuter

Alternative command for opening settings.

/mmuter status

Shows basic runtime information in chat.

Compatibility

• World of Warcraft Retail
• WoW 12.1
• Interface: 120100

Optional integrations:

• MidnightShared
• LibSharedMedia-3.0

Important Note About Sound IDs

MidnightMuter does not attempt to ship thousands of unverified Blizzard Sound IDs.

The addon is built around a trusted workflow:

Find candidate
→ Preview
→ Identify
→ Verify
→ Categorize
→ Manage
→ Use in presets / Competitive Audio

This keeps the database reliable and avoids incorrect or misleading sound entries.

Part of the Midnight Addon Suite

MidnightMuter is designed to visually and structurally fit alongside other Midnight addons while remaining fully usable on its own.
