Description

Very useful extension! I found some potential bugs

1) I assume many people will use this extension to quickly mute the microphone during a videocall. However, some apps like Zoom, do not allow to set the system input volume to zero during a call. If an user starts from (let us say) 100% volume and uses the mute command, instead of zero, it will get 4%. If the user press the mute command again (to recover the 100%), the command will again try to set the input volume to zero, getting again 4%, and trapping the user in a loop. A potential solution is to set the unmuting condition to input_vol<5 instead of input_vol==0.

2) The unmute command remembers the last input volume, except when is 100%.

@MKReyesH so two issues here, the 100% not saved is an easy one, no problem. For the 4% stuff, is Zoom preventing to change the volume to 0? Just to understand it right

[quentin23soleil]

Ha! I found something in the zoom settings. I think you have to uncheck the "Automatically adjust microphone volume" for the extension to work properly. It's not actually 4%, Zoom will increase and decrease at will the input volume to find the right volume according to them.

Very nice! Thanks for the quick response. This should solve the issue.

fyi an update is coming for the 100% thing :)
