Description

We have a few mentions of microphones in Whonix documentation.

Special:Search

But apart from warnings no instructions on how to actually use a microphone.

Good questions and answers:

Perhaps we should add a new page Hardware Threat Minimization - Kicksecure?

Makes sense.

As far as KVM is concerned this works out of the box and so I warned users to disable the host’s microphone if not using it (which they should do anyway).

Done for KVM. Other hypervisors pending.

On a second thought, to remove the redundancy that page should be merged with the following chapter?

Computer Security Education - Whonix

Fixed that page. (All content after the microphone content was hidden due to open and unclosed div tag.) And restored the improved, generic introduction chapter.
