#u::MuteMic()

It doesn't work for me (I'm trying on audacity with an external mic, it records my voice when muted or not, with and without OddMorning modification).

@WiliTest what do you see in the AudioFinder script dialog? Your control may not be named MASTER or WAVE, you'd have to check

it's working! Thanks a lot for your time! (I made a slight improvement using permanent notifications, and my code works when the micro change mixers/channels)

I struggled with 2 problems (solution below)

1. How to find out the number we should add after MASTER: ... (I guess it's not the same as the Mixer. Is it always 1?)
2. each time I plug/unplug my external micro (which I often have to do) the mixer's number changes from 8 to 10. Is there a way to make it stable? (I don't have this problem when I turn off Bluetooth)

Solutions:

1. i simply used master (without any number).

2. Simply double your code for each volume mixer your micro uses

SoundGet, master_mute8, , mute, 8

SoundGet, master_mute10, , mute, 10


    colore = % (master_mute8 == "On" ? "cwred":"cwgreen")
    texte= % (master_mute8 == "On" ? "8Ø":"8✔")
    Splashimage 1: ,b +x1200 +y895 w50 h25 %colore%, %texte%

	colort = % (master_mute10 == "On" ? "cwred":"cwgreen")
    textt = % (master_mute10 == "On" ? "10Ø":"10✔")
    Splashimage 2: ,b +x1200 +y930 w60 h25 %colort%, %textt%


#u::  ; Ctrl-Alt-M is my chosen hotkey
