alsamixer auto turn off microphone


When using google voice or other similar applications, I find the microphone randomly turn itself off sometimes. Has anyone had similar issue? I'm on -current.

not that specifically. but i can get talk-mode on without trying. this is my 2nd android phone. i thought it was hardware , the more i read and learn about android. the more i think it's buggy software

it is possible that some auto mute function of hangouts did this.
it't to avoid noise when you are not speaking or feedback loop when the other side is speaking
I think you can configure this behaviour ...
