Mute/unmute MacBook on schedule

Can I schedule mac to mute/unmute on schedule? Not just DND, which mutes notifications, but something that would mute all sound. Use case: Prevent this: cant sleep, play game, forget to mute sounds, angry partner!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Scheduling Muting a Mac:

Using AppleScript, create a code, create the App, and then run the app. That might do the trick. I've created one that opens as a Login Item. It mutes it at every login. So, that's the only way you may be able to do this. Ask here: Apple Developer Fourms
