[Feature Request] Volume Gate #2295
Description
Your use case
What would you like to do?
An option to limit the Microphone Volume Gate, for example -6DB
Which would only activate the microphone if the Gate is reached.
Why would you like to do it?
Many of my friends do not have any systemwide noise filtering and have a lot of background noise and other noises that make the experience very unpleasable.
How would you like to achieve it?
In the settings, either Element or Element Call directly, a toggle with a slider that can be set to a decibel value, preferable with a volume preview.
Have you considered any alternatives?
Yes, on Linux Pipewire with RNoise and on Windows there is Equalizer APO.
Unfortunately, this is not possible for many non Power users.
