Mute Microphone?
I'm wanting to build a simple skin that toggles the mute on the microphone. I've looked at the docs for AudioLevel plugin and don't see anything. How can I do this?

Re: Mute Microphone?
Not sure there really is a good solution for this.
Of the Rainmeter plugins, AudioLevel is not about "controlling" anything. It's only about "monitoring" sound devices. MediaKey can't be set to a specific device, but just talks to whatever is already mapped for keys like "mute" on your multimedia keyboard. Win7Audio is only about "output" devices, and not "input".
While you can use nircmd to toggle "mute" on your microphone, you can't easily get the current "state" of this to display, which in my view would make it virtually useless.

Using this little utility with RunCommand, you might be able to cobble something together:

Re: Mute Microphone?
Thanks for the suggestion. A little more in depth than I had hoped. I'll just keep switching to my meeting window and muting it for now

Muting just the microphone (input) is a completely different animal.revolt4peace wrote:If you want a simple skin that will mute your computer, go here

Re: Mute Microphone?
I don't think there's currently a plugin that does this, but the Win7Audio could probably be modified to do both input and output devices. (I didn't write it though, so I'm just guessing)

That would be the sensible place to attack it.dgrace wrote:I don't think there's currently a plugin that does this, but the Win7Audio could probably be modified to do both input and output devices. (I didn't write it though, so I'm just guessing)
