How To Mute An Avatar?

[Princapple]

I thought I knew the answer to this...

Recently, we attended a dance club. It was very nice...very well done...except for one thing.

I realize that DJs must react to guests by thanking them for tips, welcoming them to the venue, and also responding to requests.

All of the clubs that I visit take care of this between songs, however, at this place there is rarely  break between songs, so the DJs handle their responses by talking over the music. This is a very popular and busy club and as a result , the DJs are almost always talking over the music, which became a problem for me.

I had read that all I had to do was click the DJ, then click mute, and I wouldn't be able to hear him. Unfortunately, this only worked for a few seconds before the voice came back. I then blocked the avatar...and the got the same result...the vice came right back.

Is there another way to accomplish this? The info I found was from a similar request - in 2009. Wondering if anything had changed since then.

Am wondering if this has anything to do with the stream? If it matters, I use Firestorm Viewer.

Thanks!

It definitely has to do with the stream.  The DJ's voice is not coming to you through SL's Voice function, but is coming directly as part of the stream.  If you don't want to hear the DJ talking (I don't blame you), then all you can do is shut off the stream.
