Bug Description

When using direct monitoring, the microphone Talk button in Mixxx needs to be pressed for the microphone to be recorded and broadcasted. Because the microphone is heard through the speakers regardless of the state of the Talk button in Mixxx, it can be easy to forget to do this and exclude the microphone signal from the recorded/broadcasted signal.

Can't you enable it always and use the Mic hardware switch?
How could we help the users here?

I thought about that, but it may be desirable to not have the mic enabled at all times if it is only picking up background noise. I imagine that would be more of an issue with multiple microphones.
