This suggestion is rather simple. How about adding an option that would mute all the sounds from osu! when its window loses focus? This feature can be seen in several popular games such as Team Fortress 2.

Do you mean stuff like HL Sound, etc? Or also the music?

I'd say no to the second.

i'm not sure, but doesn't the boss key already do this?

All sounds, including music. This would be a simple toggle in the Options screen (disabled by default). Sometimes a task requires me to Alt + Tab out of osu! and I'd rather not get distracted by its sounds while performing the said task.

The boss key, in my opinion serves a totally different purpose (hiding osu! quickly from the eyes of your employers, hehe) and its existence is not that obvious. Plus, it requires you to click a tray icon to restore the osu! window since it becomes hidden. Why should I sacrifice my normal window switch mechanic?

I'd say yes, but it should be an extra option in the options menu. I'm not quite sure how many people will actually use it. Like deadbeat said, the boss key can achieve almost the same result.

EDIT:
So this will probably not be implemented unless peppy feels like it one day

I don't know about this. The Boss key seems to be appropriate in that approach.

Not gonna happen. Already enough alternatives.
