SCAR 17 G733ZW MKey 3, Microphone Toggle Shows Popup, but Software Can Still Hear Mic (WITH Solution)

NOTE

Bug reports without clear information or scenario to reproduce and logs from %AppData%\GHelper will be closed without answer. Please respect time of the developer. Thanks.

Describe the bug I was checking mic settings in wz2 and I noticed that with the mic set to disabled with the macro key, the game still responds to my mic as if it is enabled.

Clear scenario to Reproduce

Expected behavior Pls turn off mic lol when ask mic off silly compuder

App Logs App log just reset seeking other bug, will post asap

Screenshots or screencasts Gonna be a bit hard but I will get one if you need it.

Desktop (please complete the following information): SCAR 17 G733ZW Win 11

Asus software AC is installed for Aura Creator to work Myashit is installed for updates No ashit services according to the awesome g-h

Additional context I have since removed the keybind in g-h and replaced it with this bat that fixes the issue for me. I don’t know where the global mic variable is yet but this functions for now. If you replace your microphone toggle with a path to this .bat all is well

set key="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\microphone\NonPackaged"

reg query "%key%" /v Value | find "Deny"
if errorlevel 1 goto turnoff
goto turnon

:turnoff
reg add "%key%" /v Value /t REG_SZ /d Deny /f
goto :eof

:turnon
reg add "%key%" /v Value /t REG_SZ /d Allow /f
goto :eof

@iamtimsson cause windows has 3 different default microphones, for communications / multimedia / and console line. Now app will adjust all 3 settings to make sure it reaches all of them (even if it’s same device like now, or not like you had before with noise cancelling + realtek at the same time)

Closing as completed and will include in next release.
