miccontrol

Shows the status of you microphone. Left and right click toggles mute.

Usage

This block can be run on an interval or by signal. To run the block using a signal, it is recommended to add the following to your i3 config.

# toggle mute
bindsym XF86AudioMicMute exec --no-startup-id pactl set-source-mute "alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo" toggle && pkill -RTMIN+10 i3blocks

where the alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo after set-source-mute can be changed to another source name and 10 in -RTMIN+10 can be replaced to another signal number, as long as it agrees what you put for signal= in your i3blocks config.
