It automatically reduces **only CS2's** per-app volume during loud in-game events (death, flashbang, bomb, spectating) and restores it afterward.\n\nHomepage: https://jackblk.github.io/cs2-helper/\n\nDownload latest release here: [CS2.Helper-x64.exe](https://github.com/jackblk/cs2-helper/releases/latest/download/CS2.Helper-x64.exe)\n\nOr choose another release from [Releases Page](https://github.com/jackblk/cs2-helper/releases).\n\n## Features\n\n* **Anti-cheat safe**: no memory reads, DLL injection, or game file changes.\n* **Event-driven**: reduces volume in response to specific in-game events (configurable).\n  * Death\n  * Flashbang\n  * Bomb explosion\n  * Spectating\n* **Automatic restore**: returns volume to normal once the loud event passes.\n* **Per-app volume control**: reduces only CS2's volume, leaving other apps untouched.\n* **One-click setup**: installs the CS2 GSI config for you.\n* **Configurable**: tune volume targets and behavior.\n\nCurrently only supports Win 11.\n\n![main ss](./docs/screenshots/screenshot.png)\n\n### FAQ\n\n#### Will this get me banned (VAC/Faceit...)?\n\nNo. It uses official GSI (Game State Integration) provided by Valve, which is read-only and designed for third-party apps. It does not interact with the game in any way that would trigger anti-cheat systems.\n\n#### Is this safe to use?\n\nYes.\n\n* You can read, modify, or build from the source code yourself.\n* VirusTotal scan is attach to each release in [Releases Page](https://github.com/jackblk/cs2-helper/releases).\n\n#### Linux support?\n\nNot planned at the moment, as the audio backend is Windows-specific. I also don't play games on Linux, so I wouldn't be able to test it. Feel free to contribute if you want to see it on Linux, this app uses Tauri so cross-platform support is possible.\n\n#### Did you use AI?\n\nYes why not, it's just a tool. I'm a dev myself, I came up with the architecture, decisions. Feel free to contribute if you want to add features or improve the codebase.\n\n#### I want to add X feature\n\nFeel free to create an issue or, better, a pull request. I can't promise I'll merge every contribution, but I'm open to new features and improvements.\n\n## Supporters\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://ko-fi.com/jackblk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"./docs/support/kofi.webp\" alt=\"buy me a coffee\" width=\"200\"\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\n## How it works\n\n```mermaid\nflowchart LR\n    CS2[\"CS2\"] -- \"GSI HTTP POST\" --\u003e GSI\n    subgraph Helper[\"CS2-Helper\"]\n        direction LR\n        GSI[\"GSI server\"] --\u003e Events[\"Event engine\"]\n        Events --\u003e Audio[\"Audio engine\"]\n    end\n    Audio -- \"reduce / restore\" --\u003e CoreAudio[\"Windows Core Audio\"]\n    CoreAudio -- \"set cs2.exe session volume\" --\u003e CS2\n```\n\nThe app installs a CS2 GSI config automatically, CS2 will send GSI events to the local server, and the helper adjusts the cs2.exe audio session volume in response to game events.\n\n## Development\n\n### Stack\n\n* **Tauri v2** (Rust backend) + **React**\n* **windows-rs** for Core Audio\n\n### Commands\n\n```sh\npnpm install\npnpm format       # format with Biome\npnpm tauri dev    # run the app with hot reload (Vite + Rust)\npnpm build        # typecheck + build the frontend\npnpm tauri build  # build the Tauri app (release mode)\n```\n\nTypecheck Rust without launching:\n\n```sh\ncargo check --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml\n```\n\n\u003e Windows-only. The audio backend is gated behind `#![cfg(windows)]`.\n\n## References\n\n* Inspired by [PatrikZeros CSGO Sound Fix](https://github.com/patrikzudel/PatrikZeros-CSGO-Sound-Fix)\n* [GSI API reference from u/Bkid](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/cjhcpy/game_state_integration_a_very_large_and_indepth/)\n* [CS2 GSI docs](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike_2_Game_State_Integration)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjackblk%2Fcs2-helper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjackblk%2Fcs2-helper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjackblk%2Fcs2-helper/lists"}
