Mullet Media-Strike

What it does

Enables you to finally play Counter-Strike AND enjoy music at the same time.
Lets you choose any .exe to mute and unmute depending on what happens in CS.
Allows you to adjust automatic minimum, maximum and fade between rounds for smooth listening.
Automatic OR advanced port configuration, no manual setup required.
Allows you to simulate media key inputs for pausing and playing (experimental, off by default).
Saves and loads your settings.
Restore defaults when or if it breaks.

What it probably won't do:

Mute your inner voice telling you to force every round with your 0.3 KDA.
Get you laid.

Are you anything like me and you enjoy listening to music while playing CS? Are you tired of manually having to mute and unmute Spotify? Are you tired of that one teammate who doesn't follow calls because he's blasting k-pop? I've got you covered, run Mullet Media-Strike together with Counter-Strike and it'll mute and unmute automatically depending on whether you're alive or dead, saving you precious keystrokes that could be utilized to type nasty things to your opponents. But wait, you're bald and you have a beard and you're using Winamp or Foobar in 2025? Don't worry, Mullet Media-Strike covers that too, so you can enjoy your math-metal or obscure jazz nobody's ever heard of or whatever. In fact, it'll work on just about any media player. That's how much I care about you!

VAC (Valve anti-cheat)

Yes, it should be VAC safe, my app utilizes a Valve GSI webhook specifically built for tournaments and overlays. It literally just reads the webhook, compares, then chooses to mute or unmute. No weird injections, no nothing. VAC shouldn't care about simulated media key presses either. I've yet to hear anyone get banned for utilizing it, it would be completely unprecedented.

You can read more about Valve's GSI here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Game_State_Integration

NOTE: if you do get banned for some bizarre reason I take no responsibility!

Mullet Media-Strike

A lightweight companion app for Counter-Strike that automatically manages your music volume or playback based on in-game events — so you can enjoy your music without lifting a finger between rounds!

This is my first release, its made with a lot of love and its in beta. Please adjust your expectations accordingly. This page will have later releases and updates, so do check in. :)

I am currently a student and I'm still learning how to code. If you want to help support me in my journey and if this app has provided you any amount of joy, please consider donating!

If you don't want to do that, you can also just follow me on my socials, I'm trying to grow my Twitch so that'd be a good place I suppose, I also stream a lot of the development going into making this application on there.

Don't be shy to reach out if you run into bugs, if you have ideas or if you'd like to contribute in regards to code as well. I'm happy to work with others to make it even better!
