Bug Description
Not sure if this is the right component to file it in, but I have to start somewhere.
On certain machines there is a microphone mute key. This key, when tested with xev, is known as XF86AudioMicMute. It is not bound to any action by default as far as I can tell on a brand new install, even though it is relatively trivia to support it.
Workaround:
Create a new keyboard application shortcut to the application `amixer -D pulse sset Capture toggle`, or even fancier:
#!/bin/bash
amixer -D pulse sset Capture toggle | grep -q off
if [ $? = "1" ]; then
notify-send "Mic on"
else
notify-send "Mic off"
fi
However, this really should be addressed such that it is default, preferably with a better UI more consistent with the volume notification.
