From Audacity Development Manual

The Mute/Unmute submenu enables you to mute or unmute all of the tracks in your project in one go, without having to use the buttons Mute and Unmute in each track's Track Control Panel.

| The track mute and solo buttons are usually used to change which tracks are muted, rather than these menu items.

## Unmute All Tracks Ctrl + Shift + U

Unmutes all the audio tracks in the project, as if you had used the Mute buttons from the Track Control Panel on every track.

## Mute Tracks Ctrl + U

## Unmute Tracks Ctrl + Shift + U

Unmutes all selected audio tracks in the project, as if you had used the Mute buttons from the Track Control Panel on each selected track.
