2.0.1 (OSX Monterey 12.2.1) - No notification/script fire for mic disabled #28

In OSX Monterey 12.2.1, Oversight functioning correctly for camera on, camera off, and microphone on events but microphone off is not showing any notifications nor is it firing the script I set it to fire for events. I am using the MacBook onboard camera and mic for testing. I debugged by having my bash script write to a log file when the script first starts, when the script determines what device event it is (cam|mic), and then what action to take (on|off):

Example bash script debug from starting a Zoom session with onboard camera and mic on and then ending the meeting:

running mic-cam-detection.sh...
checking if event is camera on or off...
turning cam on...
running mic-cam-detection.sh...
checking if event is microphone on or off...
turning mic on...
running mic-cam-detection.sh...
checking if event is camera on or off...
turning cam off...

Since echo "running mic-cam-detection.sh..." >> logfile.txt is the first command in the bash script, this tells me that OverSight is not executing script at all for event microphone off. I do not get a notification either. It's not just a Zoom issue as I have tested with Voice Memos as well:

running mic-cam-detection.sh...
checking if event is microphone on or off...
turning mic on...

A laptop restart didn't fix the issue but 2 restarts did. Not sure why but the issue isn't happening after that. Closing.
