Mute/Unmute microphone on a Lenovo X201s
#!/bin/bash
#Map this script to a button (eg F1) to mute your mic while VoIPing
currentlevel=`amixer get Capture |grep "Front Left:" | awk '{ print ($5) }'`
if [ $currentlevel == '[100%]' ]; then
amixer set Capture 0
echo "Mic muted" >> /tmp/mutelog
elif [ $currentlevel == '[0%]' ]; then
amixer set Capture 100
echo "Mic unmuted" >> /tmp/mutelog
else
echo "Bad mic value. Mic muted anyway for safety" >> /tmp/mutelog
amixer set Capture 0
