How do I mute all ingame sounds EXCEPT voice chat?
I had this enabled previously. New updates broke it.

I used to use something like this:

] snd_ducktosound 2
Unknown command "snd_ducktosound"
] snd_duckerattacktime 1

But it doesn't seem to work anymore. 2k FG for a fix.

To mute all in-game sounds except voice chat, here are some steps you can try, as the commands you mentioned (snd_ducktosound and snd_duckerattacktime) seem to be outdated or no longer supported in recent game updates (likely for CS:GO or CS2, given the context):In-Game Audio Settings:Go to the game's audio settings menu.
Lower or mute all sound sliders (music, sound effects, ambient, etc.) to zero.
Ensure the voice chat volume is set to an audible level.

Console Commands:
Since the commands you used are no longer recognized, try these alternatives in the console:volume 0: Lowers overall game volume (test to see if it affects voice chat).
snd_musicvolume 0: Mutes in-game music.
voice_scale 1: Sets voice chat volume to maximum (adjust as needed).
To explore new audio commands in Source 2, type find snd or find voice in the console to list relevant commands.

Config File Edits:Locate your game’s config file (config.cfg or autoexec.cfg), typically in Steam\userdata\[your ID]\730\local\cfg for CS:GO/CS2.
Add lines like:

volume "0"
snd_musicvolume "0"
voice_scale "1"

Save and make the file read-only to prevent overwriting, or back it up.

Testing and Community Resources:Since updates may have changed audio handling in Source 2, check for new commands on forums like Reddit, Steam Community, or Valve’s documentation.
Some users on X mention commands like snd_setmixer for audio layers, but details are scarce for CS2.

External Solution:
If the game doesn’t allow isolating voice chat natively:Use audio mixing software (e.g., Voicemeeter on Windows) to prioritize the voice chat channel while muting other game sounds.
Configure the game to output voice chat to a different audio device (e.g., headphones) and other sounds to a muted device (e.g., speakers).
