  1. How to disable sound when screen saver activates?


    My system sound level bar is all the way to the left no sound. The Icon shows the speaker with an "x" as expected.The problem is if I have a webpage with a video or sound playing and the screen saver activates; the sound plays at full volume even though my sound is disabled.The browser does not have to be open to the page. Whatever tab was last selected that has audio seems to be the one that starts playing when the screen saver activates.Is there a way to prevent the screen saver from playing at full volume when it activates?

    :)
