Let Them Talk (LTT)

by ZipeStudio

Let Them Talk lowers the volume of other apps on a player's computer while a voice chat contact speaks, then restores them once talking stops.

What it does

When a player speaks through Plasmo Voice or Simple Voice Chat, the mod scales down the volume of apps such as Spotify and browsers, and it returns each app to its previous level when the speech ends. The mod never overrides a volume the player set on purpose, because it only scales relative to the current level of each app. Default targets are Spotify and Chrome, which are ducked to 10 percent of their current volume.

The mod is a client mod: only the client needs it, and servers run without it. Windows uses WASAPI for per-app volume, and Linux uses PulseAudio pactl with PipeWire wpctl and pw-dump, so Linux users need pulseaudio-utils and pipewire with wireplumber installed. Fabric API is required on every loader except NeoForge. Settings can be changed inside the game on a YACL screen, and the config file can also be edited by hand. The code is not open source; it is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0, and public links exist for the source code and issue tracker. Files target 1.20.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Key features

  1. Automatic ducking

    Apps named in the targets list are scaled down while someone talks, with the level set per app, for example Spotify at 5 percent.

  2. Smooth restore

    Volumes return to their previous levels gradually once talking stops, instead of jumping back.

  3. Per-app targets

    The volume multiplier is set for each app separately, so music can be lowered while other sounds stay as they are.

  4. In-game configuration

    Settings are available through a YACL screen in the game, and the config file can be edited directly.

Questions

Does the server need Let Them Talk?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Can the volume of a single app be changed?

Yes. Each target app has its own multiplier, and the default targets are Spotify and Chrome at 10 percent, which can be changed in the config.

Which voice mods does Let Them Talk work with?
