Well, there are actually 2 places in pavucontrol (I use pavucontrol-qt since I'm on
KDE) where the microphone can be muted.
If you use an application such as "audacity" and start to record from the mic
you
should see "audacity" in the "Recording" tab. The mic can be muted
in that tab as
well as the "Input Devices" tab.
