Mute microphone key not working under Cinnamon

[drbee]

Hi there,

I am runnning ubuntu 12.04 on a Lenovo T430 and I recently installed Cinnamon 2.
Unfortunately the mute microphone button (which I use a lot on conference calls) on the keyboard is not working even though it works just fine under Unity.
I was able to add a keyboard shortcut with the command "amixer set Capture toggle" which works, but I need it to display a notification that lets me know whether the mute is on or off.

Can you help me in setting up the notification or to somehow copy what unity does to make it work properly?

Thanks a lot

Not under mate aswell, grooming for solution. I'll post solution when I find some.

EDIT: I found a way to do it on my system.

Open keyboard shortcuts and add custom keyshortcuts

name: Mic toggle
command: amixer -c 1 sset Capture toggle


NOTE: You can try a variations of previously mentioned

#2: amixer -c 1 sset Mic toggle
#3: amixer set Mic toggle
#4: amixer set Capture toggle

One of this four commands should work for you
