Mute a microphone with a keyboard shortcut?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4528 / 3 Years ago, tue, august 10, 2021, 12:24:58

I'm using this method to mute the microphone in Ubuntu 13.04, however I'm missing a visual representation that the action has taken place and is currently in action.

Is it possible to improve this method, or use another method, to have my microphone muted and know for sure that this has happened? A microphone indicator would be enough, probably.

OK, I've solved it!

I've created two shell files:

mute_mic.sh:

killall notify-osd;

amixer set Capture nocap && notify-send 'Microphone ! DISABLED !'

unmute_mic.sh:

killall notify-osd;

amixer set Capture cap && notify-send 'Microphone ! ENABLED !'

Then I've simply assigned to run those two files on my desired keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks to @Wouter for finding the notify-send command!
