    Javascript and microphones

    Is it possible to mute/unmute a microphone on your own computer using
    javascript?

    Any examples if yes...

    Javascript is just a language.
    It only has an effect when executed.
    It depends on what engine it runs.

    A microphone is just a microphone.
    If coupled to a computer, it depends on what hardware is used for the
    connection.
    The audio chips?
    Or an USB connection?
    And what programme does the coupling.

    Javascript, just running in a browser,
    cannot directly access the audio chips
    and audio input software of a pc.

    Javascript running in Wscript/jscript perhaps could,
    or if a special API interface is made available.

    NB Javascript is not scripted Java. Far from it.

    imho!

      Presumably; but news:microsoft. public.scriptin g.jscript are more likely
      to know. It will be using WSH CScript, WScript, or embedded similar.
