Hi,

I'm working on an app that uses AudioRecord class to get input data from the phone mic. For some reason I'm unable to mute the mic. I have tried with different AudioSources (DEFAULT, MIC and VOICE_UPLINK) when creating the AudioRecord object, but there's no difference in the muting behaviour.

The muting itself, I'm trying to achieve with AudioManager#setMicrophoneMute() method.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
