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.
For testing only, run the following command via PowerShell or Command Prompt.
See whether the microphone will be disabled. If it works, run the following to enable it:Code:(REG Add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\microphone" /V Value /T REG_SZ /D Deny /F)
Code:(REG Add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\microphone" /V Value /T REG_SZ /D Allow /F)
Matthew Wai, That worked perfectly, now how do i get it to toggle off/on from the desktop? Thanks
I have given you a way to do exactly what you wanted. A shortcut to toggle the microphone.
I guess that's not what you wanted. Good luck.
Do you think we can add an option to toggle between "Enabled" and "Disabled" via a desktop shortcut as the OP wants below?
For testing only, run the attached batch script and see whether it works. If it does, we can create a desktop shortcut to run it. An LNK shortcut allows a different icon.
The OP wants someone to do everything for him. He wants a fish.
