In OS X El Capitan few changes have been added in terms of functions and others, but we do have some outstanding news in the software and what we are going to do until the release of the final version that expected for next September 30 how Apple announced in the keynote of the iPhone 6s, is to review them one by one.

One of these improvements for OS X El Capitan is related to the audio playback on the Mac and directly with Safari. On many occasions we have countless tabs open and it is not clear from where we are listening to the audio in case we want to stop it, in the new OS X El Capitan locating that tab will be easier thanks to the icon that Apple adds in the smart search field.

As you can see in the header image of this article, Apple and the new option to mute the sound implemented in OS X El Capitan allows us to silence the Mac quickly and efficiently. It is true that today there are browsers that show us the icon on the tab itself, in Chrome for example we already have an icon on the tab when we are playing a video or audio that allows us to identify it, but when there are many open tabs we lose sight of the icon and it is more difficult to find and to be able to silence. Now accessing that browser tab and silencing it when we have many open will not be so complicated thanks to the fact that the icon appears in the search field.

Another option is to directly deactivate the audio of the tabs open in Safari and for this the only thing necessary is to press the "Mute All Tabs" with which we will leave the tabs silenced with a stroke of the pen. How many of us did not activate a video or song in automatic playback when we surfed some websites? Apple titles it as: Shut your mouth, page.
