How to mute MP3 while line in is used

[dubbin1]

Heres the deal, I do recording off of a scanner radio onto my computer. The software that I use for the scanner radio will only open the line in on the computer when there is a transmission. If I have a mp3 or cd playing I would like it to mute the mp3 or cd only when the scanner is transmitting sound to the computer. I figured if anyone would know it would be you guys. If anyone has any idea on what software might do this please let me know. If possible please email me and let me know (I know I will get lost in this forum if i have to find this thread) dubbin2@hotmail.com

Thanks
Dwayne

Then don't do that!

Seriously though, who plays a CD or MP3 while they're trying to record something else on the same computer?????

Unless I'm missing something.........

The easiest way is to have another soundcard. use one for mp3's and such and the other one for recording. Then you have the 2 things separated.

I have no problem recording off the line in while listening to music. I just want the music to mute so I can hear what is being recorded.
