Codex Listens to Mic to Auto-Pause Playback
imrat · x · 2026-07-07
Further details are provided on building an audio tool with Codex: since the author mostly uses speakers (rather than headphones) for podcasts, YouTube, or music, "volume ducking + pause" is essential. The tool monitors the default microphone, automatically pausing playback when dictation starts and resuming when finished, eliminating the need to manually toggle keyboard shortcuts.
