Great Idea Mike!
I would like to test your APP when ready,

I never use AGC but PowerSDR/Thetis remembers all that by band. But
for those rigs which don't remember gain-by-band we need a solution.
After thinking about this some more WSJT-X is not the place for the
solution as it's too late in the chain and would rely on polling to
figure out what's changed...too late.
So to maintain maximum flexibility I'm going to make a utility where
you can have a set of buttons that you can configure for
mode/gain/frequency/AF level. That way you can control the order of
operations.
Then, rather than clicking on WJST-X and select the band, you click a
single button which will do it all for you.

Most rigs have AGC and some have top end limiters to avoid the audio

external limiter? A pair of back-to-back diodes might even suffice!]
Some rigs separate line out from audio out, with separate level
controls for each.
I frequently swap between FT8 and CW and have never been troubled by
this ‘issue’ with my setup.
What I’m saying is that, for me, there are other more pressing
priorities from an operational/usability perspective.

And let me explain the operating paradigm here...I realize that very
few people operate like this.
Running WSJT-X, FLRig, Log4OM, and FLDigi all at the same time.
Your working WSJT-X and a spot comes in on CW in Log4OM -- so you
click on it and everything auto-switches over to CW on frequency for
the spot and you now want audio to listen to CW (which requires more
audio than 30dB). Then when you're done you click on the band
selector in WSJT-X and the audio level is far too high..plus you have
all the boomers coming in now so it's even too loud at 30dB....and you
really don't want to listen to it at all. So yes...you could take your
headset off...but do this a few dozen times and see if you don't
forget to take off your headset. It's loud enough to damage your
ears. Some rigs allow for separate USB audio/AF audio levels (like
PowerSDR and the IC-7300). So...for those rigs that can support it we
simply put a checkbox for AF level settings (only enabled when
available) to mute audio. Some rigs control the USB audio level from
the AF control so those won't work.

If you can remember to click a button in WSJT-X, couldn't you also
remember to turn your AF on your rig down before starting WSJT-X?
I'm not trying to be contentious, here, but this sounds like trying to
cure a hardware issue in software (like Samsung does with their
phones), when the solution is to simply remember to turn the AF
down... or remove your headphones.

Don't need any audio from the rig or a preset audio level for
WSJT-X vs CW might be better.
That's why.

I’m still at a loss to understand what you want to mute. X
doesn’t produce audio that the user should hear. The radio
produces the only audio that you should be hearing at any point of
operation. If you are hearing it during transmit, you more than
likely have monitor turned on in the radio, which I consider a
good thing. If you hear it during receive, that’s also a good
thing. What are you hearing that you don’t want to hear?
