Not muting all mics consistently

[webOS101]

This touches on some of the other open tickets. I am using the release candidate for 2.0.

I have an app set up to use the non-default mic. It seemed that 2.0.0 was working correctly but today I had a conference call and I connected my bluetooth headset (for output, not input). After doing so, even though I was showing as muted, my built-in mic was actually sending out everything I said to the conference call.

As a colleague said, an app like Mute Me has to work 100% of the time or it's useless.

Is this something that is possible to address?

Hi @webOS101
sorry to hear, could you provide a bit more information

• what's software you used during the call?
• are you sure in that software you set use a default system mic?

The process how mute me works is that we listen to new connected devices and if you were on mute during connection of a new device we put on mute the new device as well. We always put on mute the device which becomes a new default input in the system.

Using Google Hangouts in Chrome
I am sure it was not the default system mic. As stated above, I use the built-in mic because of issues with my headset mic.

Is there a technical issue that would prevent muting all mics when the mute is activated?

We will think about it next week, potentially we could. Thank you for your reply.

The issue is fixed in the new version of the app which currently we distribute as a separate application https://mutify.app/. We now mute all possible microphones and keep them in sync with a mute status.

You can try it for free with 7-days trial and get 50% discount with promo code: MUTEME

However, the existing opensource version will stay forever free.
