I’ve looked at suggestions on StackExchange and made some changes to files in /etc but after each login or reboot it is up to 100 % again in pavucontrol. On this computer I hardly ever use the speakers, and I want the microphone muted, always, so I guess I could even block list a few kernel modules for sound (which ones ?). But why can a desktop user not easily turn volume to zero, forever ?
Why not just add to xinitrc something like:
pacmd set-source-mute N 1 Where N is your mic
You’re better off asking that in !linux@lemmy.ml
Please, if it has been solved. Put the solution here!!!
Don’t make future searches who find this page shake their monitors going “but what was the solution?”
Tell us how you fixed it please and thank you.
Sure. The solution was already in the edit part in the post. The solution that worked for me was to switch to Dummy in Pavucontrol.
Thank you, when I last viewed it, the title was changed to solved, but I did not see the edit. Cheers!
