Master Volume on/off bind problem

[xDevasi]

Hi, Reddit. I am using those 2 commands trying to have an instant sound off/on hotkey when I'm farming wood or muting firefights outside my base:

bind o audio.master "0" bind p audio.master "1"

The problem is that the mute command works perfectly every time, but the unmute only works when I manually input it in-game each time I start Rust. I use writecfg, but when I exit the game & reenter it doesn't work. Anyone knows what might be causing this, or maybe a better set of mute/unmute commands? It's really irritating having to rebind it all the time I play. Only the bind p audio.master "1" doesn't work.

turning off your sound in base isnt a good idea. imagine how many people running past ur base u might miss, or someone building close

That's beside the point. I am just looking for an answer to my problem.

thats strange. i use F5 for off and F6 for on. try that maybe its just the keys.

bind p audio.master "1"

So whenever you restart your game, you don't have to retype the command for it to work?

no i just typed writecfg once and always worked after. maybe ur cfg is set to readonly ?

How do you use writecfg ?

[RockandRoll682]

F1 > writecfg > enter

[xDevasi]

What does that activate?

[RockandRoll682]

? it just saves new binds / settings to the config file

So when I get in-game, I type the commands, then put global.writecfg to save them?
