Detect if user has muted/unmuted microphone in messengers (Skype, Discord, Telegram) with C# on application level?
To detect if a user has muted or unmuted their microphone in messengers such as Skype, Discord, or Telegram with C# on the application level, you can try the following:
Use the Windows Core Audio API to monitor the microphone state on the system.
Enumerate the audio devices on the system using the
IMMDeviceEnumerator
interface.For each audio device, use the
IAudioEndpointVolume
interface to get the current volume level and mute state.Look for audio devices that correspond to the microphone input on the system.
Monitor the mute state of the microphone input by registering for event notifications using the
IAudioEndpointVolumeCallback
interface.When a mute state change is detected, you can take action in your application accordingly.
Note that this approach may not be foolproof, as it relies on the Windows Core Audio API to detect changes in the microphone state. Some messengers may use their own audio processing pipelines that may not be reflected in the system audio state.
Additionally, using the Windows Core Audio API requires elevated privileges on the system, so your application may need to be run with administrative privileges to use this API.
