Features

• Cross-platform support (Windows & Linux)
• Random glitch intervals for realistic effect
• Command-line options for volume control
• Automatic microphone restoration on exit

Supported Operating Systems

• Windows - Uses Win32 API for microphone control
• Linux - Uses ALSA audio system

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Platform-specific audio libraries (see installation)

Installation

Windows

1. Download and install Python from python.org
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Mr3rf1/GlitchMic
   cd GlitchMic

3. Install required dependencies:

   pip install pywin32

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 git python3-pip
git clone https://github.com/Mr3rf1/GlitchMic
cd GlitchMic
pip install pyalsaaudio

Usage

Basic Usage

python GlitchMic.py

Command Line Options

Windows only:

• python GlitchMic.py -u or python GlitchMic.py --up-volume - Increase microphone volume
• python GlitchMic.py -d or python GlitchMic.py --down-volume - Decrease microphone volume

How It Works

The script creates a "glitchy" microphone effect by:

1. Randomly muting/unmuting your microphone at intervals
2. Windows: Uses mute commands with random timing (1.7-3.0s off, 0.3-0.7s on)
3. Linux: Alternates volume between 0% and 100% with random timing (1.7-3.0s each)

Stopping the Script

Press Ctrl+C to stop. The script will automatically restore your microphone to full volume.

Safety Features

• Automatic microphone restoration on exit
• Volume boost on startup (Windows)
• Graceful handling of keyboard interrupts
