Describe the bug
I have a trigger which toggles the mute for my microphone because the trigger uses an Apple Script widget on the stream deck to show the current state of the microphone. I also check the "Set input volume to zero" checkbox on the actual as well. The widget on the button has the following Apple Script to get the input volume, since it doesn't seem to be possible to get the muted state of the microphone.
set micMuted to (input volume of ( get volume settings ))
if micMuted < 1 then
set returnValue to "muted"
else
set returnValue to "unmuted"
end if
This worked on Sunday, but yesterday and today this is now not working. What seems to be happening is the microphone is being muted. I can see the effects of the mute in audio apps, but the input volume isn't being set to zero. The script is returning 100 for the micMuted variable, no matter what status the microphone's in when I press that button.
I have tried updating to the latest alpha version 6.373, but this didn't help. For reference, my previous stable version was 6.365. I've also made sure I'm on the latest version of Mac OS 26.3.1. Additionally, I've tried this same setup on my other laptop, and I get the same result.
Below is the contents of the exported action in case that's helpful as well.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug that was introduced or whether I'm just missing something. I've changed a setting somewhere that's broken this, but I've tried for a few hours now and I haven't been able to find anything that I've changed that would have affected this. Wonder if anyone has any ideas on how I can debug this or any other context on what could be going on?
Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):
