I added the extra keyword to the mute script anyway. If nothing else, deaf-blind users, or those using braille, might find it helpful to know if sound is coming from their machines or not, so customizing the template would be useful.
As for bluetooth, that's incredibly odd. I'm not happy with the way I currently get the device list, but it's the best thing I could come up with. Let's try something: open the terminal, and run these two commands: cd ~ system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType >bt_info.txt Once that runs, you will have a new text file called bt_info.txt in your home folder. Send me that file off-list - its content is what gives me the device list, so maybe I can see what's going on. Thanks!
