Mute microphone about ds4windows HOT 6 CLOSED

It is working fine now.
Thanks!

This probably has to do with the output report being used to activate rumble. There is a workaround to make sure the headphone output volume stays the same. I guess something similar will have to be done to make sure the microphone volume does not change either. I don't know which byte in the output report would be used for microphone volume. Also, I don't know if the current class being used to monitor the headphone volume can be used to monitor the microphone volume as well.

Just to complete the info: the audio output to the earphones works fine, apparently, before and after open ds4win. Just the microphone input is that stops working. However it came back to work after closing ds4windows, it doesn't need to reboot the PC.
Also, it doesn't seens to be the volume been set to zero. More like it is disconnected.

I am just getting around to testing this. After looking around, I didn't find any information about what might control the microphone volume control in the output report. Some exploratory testing seems to have led me to an answer to this problem. When no output reports are sent, the microphone still functions as expected. It is only after output reports are being sent to the controller that problems being.

Through trial and error, it looks like byte 21 in the output report controls the microphone volume of the DS4. Recording works fine when sending output reports with a value being sent for that byte. It looks like it should be possible to keep the microphone working when the controller is being used in DS4Windows. The major hurdle is grabbing the appropriate volume level.

A minor change to the DS4Audio class was all that was needed to grab the Windows volume for the microphone and use it in output reports.

It looks like the proposed change should work just fine and this issue will be fixed in the next release. I hardly even use the headphone jack on the DS4 so having access to the microphone wouldn't have been something I would have worried about. It will probably help out quite a few people so it is good that a fix was found.
