Actually it's easy - just use Soundvolumeview - from my first link- run it. No script needed - the program is cleverer than I'd expected.
Search for it, download it, unzip it and put it where you want it.
Run it, then do this:
You should get a shortcut like this
which toggles the mic state- which you can see change in Soundvolumeview.
When muted, you will still see the level change (bottom rt of 1st screenshot), a program like Voice Recorder now receives no signal.
