Is there a blacklist or similar way to disable the internal microphone? I still want to use my bluetooth headphones with microphone when the bt-profile is changed. With permament disable I can release my MicMute key into more useful function in sxhkd.
There used to be a possibility to disable the microphone in bios, but now it disables the internal speakers + 3,5mm audio jack, which makes it impossible to disable from there. I need the 3,5mm jack all the time. If there's a way to disable the internal speakers permanently but keep the 3,5mm usable, that would be more than super.
On the laptop you have the f keys. Next to the number is an image. Depending on if your system is set up with fn lock on or not, when you click the fn key (to one side of the spacebar) and the corresponding f key picture (microphone exed out is mute) it performs that function or initiates whatever that f key is programmed to do in the os or application (f1 - help, f11 - full screen window. F9 - save game/application). The picture ones are what you are attempting to implement. Try the volume up and down combos to see which happens with and without the fn key.
Seems that this is a big problem and I couldnt find anything in the documentations, but how do I disable the microphone feebdack? I know there is an option to disable individual tracks, etc .. but nothing related to output.
I just had this issue and this is how I got to disable the microphone feedback in my web app (my web app is recording the mic with Matt Diamond recorder js).First I realized I had in my code something that was telling the app to produce the feedback :)
I then realized there was a setting in my Windows 8.1 control panel > sound > playback tab > properties for the Jabra device I use. The setting is called sidetone and once I got this setting to 0 I could record without any feedback with my headset.You also need to make sure your microphone is not in "Listen to this device" mode.
My pc was infected with viruses and malware. I had to reinstall Windows 10 and would like to completely disable the microphone (paranoid about people hearing in). I don't just want to right-click the sound options and disable it there, I want to completely remove the recording capabilities completely.
All of the above would thwart me trying to reconnect it, but one of my buddies would probably still be able to solder on 2 new wires on the opposite side of the MoBo, and the other one could write a device driver to turn your speakers into a microphone so whenever they're around:
The microphone started at 100% and slowly started to drop to where the image is showing. This is because of either a background noise or the user raising their voice. In any case, I would like to prohibit this behavior because when it gets too low, the need to raise the voice will be actually needed.
the pulseaudio app (gui and terminal) was already used. Alsamixer was also used. In both cases, adjusting the microphone level did not help. The auto adjust always happens when anyone speaks, does not even need to be someone speaking loud, they just need to speak and after a couple of seconds the mic level will start auto adjusting. I repeat, this is not a 1 app problem but several, so a common solution is better than a 1 for each app (Which we are talking about more than 50 apps).
In the configuration file /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-input-internal-mic.conf (you might have to look for the correct file for your microphone), I changed the volume = part to 100 which is the percentage instead of merge
I had this problem, but with every type of video chat that I attempted to use on Xubuntu, everything from Google Hangouts to appr.tc would auto adjust my microphone volume. In particular, it seems to boost the volume if any voices can be heard in the background, as if to try to make the quietest voice be heard.
With my bluetooth headphones (which are configured as both speakers and headset), the microphone acquisition has the side effect of muting my speakers. (This isn't behaviour specific to TeamViewer, but any device that acquires my headphones)
Download VB Cable (virtual sound device), assign teamviewer to use the VB cable virtual microphone that leads to no where and you are away. I cannot believe that this has been totally ignored for three years.
It's May 2023 and this issue still happens with headphones plugged in while you connect to a remote PC. The issue is that Teamviewer tries to make an audio connection via the microphone that basically all bluetooth and wired headphones have now. Even when you have not requested audio, are not in a meeting, and basically do not want Teamviewer to take control it still does.
Totally agree. This hack works, but it's not at all normal to have to do this just because you don't need the sound! I use teamviewer for remote desktop (the first use I think), and I just don't want Teamviewer to listen to my microphone as soon as I connect to another PC! Especially since I've never used audio conferences, and I've never given my consent for him to activate my microphone! Looks like espionage!
Select Additional device properties from the Device Properties panel. (Start > Settings > System > Sound > Select your microphone from the dropdown under Input > Device Properties >Additional device properties)
I would like to disable the microphones on my audeo BR hearing aids while i am connected to my phone via ComPilot II. My research seems to indicate the only way to achieve this is via programming via ICubeII with Target software. I have found an Icube on Ebay for $80 which seems less than an audiologist appointment and will order that if I can find the software. Does anyone have a link to the target software? Am i on the right path? if there is an easier way I am all ears.
I noticed that the microphone widget is still registering sound input even after I slide the Master control all the way down in the Audio Midi Setup tool. This is totally UNSAT. Is it possible to functionally disable the microphone in my new iMac Pro - other than just unplugging the entire computer?
The problem is that the microphone is still sensing and inputting sound into the operating system. It is not turned off. This is a privacy issue. Anyone hacking into my computer (not just the NSA) can listen to anything said near the computer. Whether I have the sound input level at zero or full. That means that I must now turn off or unplug this computer whenever I talk about financial accounts, passwords, medical info, or anything else I don't want splatter all over the dark web.
Your sense of privacy is clearly not what it was before the internet existed. By hackers, in this case, I am included any application running on my computer that is collecting information about me or my machine. Apple doesn't seem to mind that type of collection, do I am not sure you do really care about privacy. Btw, do you inspect every app to ensure it is not accessing the Mic? Those same desktop apps can access the data coming off the microphone - your own sw states that desktop apps do not have to comply with the system settings for things like mics, cameras, etc. All that data is perfectly exploitable (trust me I know). Those verbal discussion can be automatically transcribed into word form (or hex code equivalents) and transmitted out via the standard packet transmission protocols. Every device with a microphone is a potential listening device (or are you not aware of Snowden?). I don't need lead lined walls...just digital devices I can trust.
Not specifically a Logic question, but since I always have input monitoring turned on, there's a constant orange microphone icon in my menu bar. I could ignore the small orange dot, but this is a little harder to ignore. Any way to turn it off?
After toggling it off, I don't get any audio input in Logic. And an "Allow access" button appears in Logic's audio settings. Of course, once I allow access, the orange microphone icon reappears in the menubar.
I don't have Sonoma yet, but isn't this a similar thing to the orange dot - a persistent visible indicator that something on your system is able to (in the case of the dot) record your screen, and in the case of the mic, record audio on your system (eg for spying/surreptitious monitoring), so anything active that's got permission to access the microphone, and other audio input, you're aware of? Presumably why the mic indicator is also orange.
Unless I'm missing something, both the orange dot and orange microphone now indicate that audio input is being used. Sonoma has new icon indicators for camera (green) and screen recording/sharing (lilac?)
Maybe it is - I don't use Sonoma yet, and I thought the orange dot on Monterey was indicating the screen or camera was enabled, not the microphone thing. It's possible I misremembered that, if the orange dot also is a "microphone in use" indicator too, as I kind of "tuned it out" mentally (in which case, I don't understand why Sonoma would introduce a second, orange, permanently visible indicator for this, unless it's covering the case where the menu bar is not visible, eg in full screen mode).
