Mute/Unmute audio channels and output bus

[mgodlewski-SHS]

I’d like to request a feature enhancement for this Companion module that would make controlling audio on a TriCaster much more flexible. Specifically, it would be very useful to have the ability to mute and unmute individual audio channels (e.g., Input 1, Input 2, DDRs, etc.) as well as the master bus directly from Companion.

This functionality would provide:

• Quick, reliable control of live audio without needing to manually adjust the TriCaster interface.

• More seamless integration with existing workflows, especially in live event and broadcast environments where rapid muting/unmuting is often required.

• A consistent approach to controlling both inputs and the master bus, aligning with how video routing and switching are already managed.

Adding this feature would significantly improve Companion’s utility for operators who rely on Companion as a primary control surface for TriCaster systems.

Best regards

You can mute - it's just not documented.

While building a button layout in Companion, I needed to mute individual audio inputs on the TriCaster. The module doesn't currently expose this as a named action, but the following shortcut strings work correctly via the existing Send Custom Shortcut action:

Mute/unmute a specific input:

shortcut?name=input1_mute&value=true
shortcut?name=input1_mute&value=false

Replace 1 with the input number (input2_mute, input3_mute, etc.)

Set input volume (0–100):

shortcut?name=input1_volume&value=50

These were confirmed working on a TC2 running Companion 4.2.

Feature request: It would be great to have a proper named action for this — something like "Mute Audio Input" with a dropdown for input number and a toggle for mute state, similar to how other module actions are structured. This would make it discoverable without needing to know the raw shortcut string.

Happy to test any implementation if helpful.
