Description Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN 2021-03-30 09:51:04 UTC 
SUMMARY
When there are multiple microphones connected to the system, the "toggle mute microphone" keyboard shortcut only mutes/unmutes the microphone selected as default. However, the indicator (widget) only shows as mute if all the microphones are muted.

It would be best if the toggle microphone shortcut would toggle to mute/unmute all the microphones, or at least have this available as an option.

This is also very helpful if the user would choose different microphones from different applications.

We have gotten a request for the output mute action to do the opposite: only mute the current one, not all of them.

Perhaps we need a setting that chooses whether muting input or output devices will mute all of them, or only the default one.
