Mic Push-to-talk With AutoHotkey and SoundVolumeView

This is an AutoHotkey script I set up to use with NirSoft’s SoundVolumeView.

It uses the command-line from that to send mute/ unmute the microphone (through the system) whenever a key is held down. It’s not perfect and there is a small delay, so improvements are definitely welcome. Anyways, here it is:

#SingleInstance, force
#NoEnv
SendMode Input
#persistent

{
    ToolTip, Starting now...
    RunWait, PowerShell "SoundVolumeView.exe /Mute 'Realtek(R) Audio\Device\Microphone\Capture'",, hide
    SoundBeep, 200, 1000
    launched := false
    ToolTip, You should be muted
    Sleep, 1000
    ToolTip
    return
}

`::
{
    if(not launched) {
        RunWait, PowerShell "SoundVolumeView.exe /Unmute 'Realtek(R) Audio\Device\Microphone\Capture'",, hide
        SoundBeep, 442
        ToolTip, YOU ARE UNMUTED
        launched := true
    }
    return
}

` Up::
{
    RunWait, PowerShell "SoundVolumeView.exe /Mute 'Realtek(R) Audio\Device\Microphone\Capture'",, hide
    SoundBeep, 200
    launched := false
    ToolTip
    return
}

    ToolTip, Unmuting and exiting
