I am sure many people have experienced the frustration I have when making a game, and you have to stop ALL sounds, rather than just the sound you want to. Such a sound block would look like this:

stop sound [ v]

Would the scratch team please add this block?

I'm not exactly sure, but I think we have about 50 supporters now! Mind blown!

stop sound [for myself v]::  sound
stop sound [all v]::  sound

stop sound (… v) :: sound
stop all sounds in [… v] :: sound // options are this sprite, all other sprites, any sprite in the category, in the project, and in the stage

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(Switch On?) = [1]> then
if <not<[Electric Hum v] playing?>> then
play sound [Electric Hum v]
end
else
stop sound [Electric Hum v]
end
end

stop sound [ v]

<[ v] playing?>

I have been having a bad problem with a simulation where if you are on a music player and click ‘Restart’ while playing a song it will ‘stop all sounds’ but there's a sound at the beginning that plays when the ‘stop all sounds’ block is in action, so I had to remove the block.

My idea is Scratch could add a ‘stop (the sound) sound’ or ‘stop all sounds in sprite’ blocks.

Please add these blocks and it will make my project much easier to create.

stop all sounds in sprite

set volume to (0) %

stop all sounds in this sprite ::sound

stop sound [Meow v] ::sound

Support, as this would make many things much easier for experienced scratchers as well as new scratchers because beginners might not know of the below workaround:

set volume to (0) %

because they probably don't know that this block works for individual sprites and not the entire project. The below blocks would be more intuitive because they explain their purpose, so new scratchers would be able to use sounds more easily:

stop all sounds in this sprite ::sound

stop sound [Meow v] ::sound

Additionally, the block that stops a specific sound does something that the workaround cannot, unless you do the time consuming process of creating a separate sprite for every sound, which would lead to problems related to code that wouldn't have existed if the sounds were all in one sprite.
