Mic is unmuted even though "Mute on startup" is enabled

[herrenP]

I updated MicMute yesterday (not sure which version I came from - but it was most likely months old) to 1.2.2 and now the mic is enabled after a reboot even though I have enabled "Mute on startup". At first I thought this might be because in the new version the app now start on startup using Task Scheduler, but I have tested by going back to having a shortcut in shell:startup without seeing any difference. I have also disabled and re-enabled "Mute on startup" to see if there was some kind of syncronization issue with the settings. This did not help either.

I just now removed config.json but the issue remain.

Can you post the contents of your config.json file?

Also could you post a screenshot of the logs window?
To open it, just right click the MicMute icon in the taskbar and then while holding Shift on your keyboard, click on Help.

Config.json:

{
	"AllowUpdateChecker": 1,
	"DefaultProfile": "Default",
	"ForceMicrophoneState": 0,
	"MuteOnStartup": 1,
	"PreferTheme": 1,
	"Profiles": [
		{
			"afkTimeout": 0,
			"ExcludeFullscreen": 0,
			"LinkedApp": "",
			"Microphone": [
				{
					"MuteHotkey": "^!M",
					"Name": "Default",
					"PushToTalk": 0,
					"UnmuteHotkey": "^!M"
				}
			],
			"OnscreenFeedback": 0,
			"OnscreenOverlay": 0,
			"OSDPos": {
				"x": -1,
				"y": -1
			},
			"OverlayOnMuteOnly": 0,
			"OverlayPos": {
				"x": -1,
				"y": -1
			},
			"OverlayUseCustomIcons": 0,
			"ProfileName": "Default",
			"PTTDelay": 100,
			"SoundFeedback": 1,
			"SoundFeedbackDevice": "Default",
			"SoundFeedbackUseCustomSounds": 1,
			"UpdateWithSystem": 1
		}
	],
	"SwitchProfileOSD": 1
}

I have also tried with ForceMicrophoneState set to 1.

I took screenshot of the logs both with and without "Run with highest privilegies" in the scheduled task:

The issue remain regardless of my changes.

Commit 0fdc2a3 should fix this.
If you want, you can test the development build, or as a workaround, you can temporarily select your microphone in the config window instead of the default option

Sorry for late reply. Version 1.2.3 seem to work fine. Mic is now muted at startup as expected. Regardless if I have set microphone to "Default" or to my specific device.

Thanks!
