This is very odd, i have one default microphone and i have another second microphone. When i use this command it always shows not muted but the microphone volume is 0%. How or what is a way i can find those value accurately.
$ pactl list | sed -n '/^Source/,/^$/p' | grep Mute
Mute: no
Mute: no
Mute: no
By using the Pulseaudio Command Line Interface we will obtain a lot of information on available sources
pacmd list-sources
will display a rather lengthy list. The current active input is marked with an asterisk. We could combine this with grep but will then lose information for which source the outputs are valid
pacmd list-sources | grep volume
To set an output to a defined value we need to know it's index which is also given by list-sources to issue
pacmd set-source-volume <index> <value> # value: 0 = mute 65536 = 100%
We may also need to unmute the sink source with
pacmd set-source-mute <index> 0
