What happens when the bug or crash occurs?

Sending equibop --toggle-mic from a terminal, or using Plasma global hotkeys, toggles microphone with a ~1 second delay.

For clarity, the dalay is between when the command is ran and when it exits, toggling the mic, not after it exits.

What is the expected behaviour?

For delay to be at least a bit smaller

How do you recreate this bug or crash?

1. Launch Equibop
2. Do equibop --toggle-mic in a terminal
3. Wait for mic to toggle

Request Agreement

• I have searched the existing issues and found no similar issue
• I am using the latest Equibop and Equicord versions
• This issue occurs on an official release (not just the AUR or Nix unofficial packages)

echo "VCD_TOGGLE_SELF_MUTE" >> $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/vesktop-ipc does this instantly, I would even say a bit faster than the official client (maybe placebo, idk)

you're completely right.. the first implementation was fast but it didn't worked on flatpak i was supposed to improve the speed but never did, but now that the option is now handled internally in flatpak i'll see what i can do about it but it's not planned

may you try to see if now with 38f802f2 now atleast some of the speed might be improved?

as for me i saw a 40% increase of speed

There's another issue I've found, but forgot to mention. Passing a wrong parameter bricks the toggle mute.

└₴ --toggle-mic <--- this one didn't work, and another three after it, completely restarting the app fixes it

I've installed equibop-git (it also doesn't show 108% on loading progress, nice), then tested it on equibop-bin again, it's roughly the same.

I was able to measure the time using time, it varies from launch to launch.
