Help modifying a mute mic script

[Agemman]

Hello people.

What I am trying to achieve is simply to record my voice from multiple VOIP programs when recording gaming with Fraps. The problem is that whenever I record all mic audio, I hear myself breathing and everything. When I then set it to a certain push-to-talk I miss half my communications. As it looks now I am using both side buttons of my mouse, V, B and numpad 0-9 to communicate. I contacted this guy that made a script for it to work and he sent me the script and what was supposed to be changed.

The problem is that I cannot get it to work and I can't get in touch with him at all. I would really like this to work so I turned here instead! This is his PM back to me containing the information I need.

Hey there, the latest version was lost in my move to japan, but here's the script for a slightly outdated version. I don't have autoit installed to compile it to an exe for you, but that shouldn't be too hard.

There are a couple of lines you'll need to change to suit your particular system, I'll highlight them and explain below. Oh and this only works for Windows 7 as far as I know (maybe vista).

The first set are the buttons you want to use to unmute the microphone. The key codes are here:

The second is the tricky part... it's the control click to open the microphone device you want to mess with. If you install autoit you'll get a windowInfo tool that will show you the coordinates to use, otherwise you can just use trial and error to figure out where to tell it to click. The coordinates are relative to the WINDOW in that call.

Finally you simply put as many tab commands in as it takes your sound device to reach the "Levels" tab, which has the mute command on it. On my old system it had 3 tabs before there, so as you can see my code had 3 tabs in it. My current system only has

| General | Listen | Levels | Microphone Enhancements | Advanced |

So I'd only put two of those tabRight functions in there.

When you edit those 3 things to be the correct stuff, you simply run this script (or compile it to a exe and run that) at any time when you want your microphone muted while recording.

It may seem complicated but it's really not

I tried colouring the parts in the code (worked on the other forum) but it doesn't work. They are here:

Part 1:

$but1 = "04" ;Middle Mouse Button
$but2 = "6A" ;* key
$but3 = "91" ;Scroll Lock key
$but4 = "BB" ;= key
$but5 = "42" ;b key
$but6 = "56" ;v key

Part2:

ControlClick("Sound", "", "","left", 2, 34, 189)

Part3:

ControlCommand("Microphone Properties", "", "SysTabControl321", "TabRight", "")
  ControlCommand("Microphone Properties", "", "SysTabControl321", "TabRight", "")
ControlCommand("Microphone Properties", "", "SysTabControl321", "TabRight", "")

The first part is not a problem. I just modify that to cover all the keys I am using. I guess I can add more of them as well? $but7 etc? Is X1 mouse button one of the side buttons of the mouse?

The second part is the major problem. I have the windowInfo tool and I drag the crosshair for the coordinates. But which coordiates shall I use? What numbers should I replace? His version has got 3 different numbers but I am only getting two numbers for X/Y.

The third part is no problem as well.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out in the right direction! Thanks in advance!

Do you have any idea what any of that code does?
