Hardware switch for mic is not working properly

[beta-user]

I was looking at the schematics regarding the kill switches the other day too and was wondering if cutting the bias would actually prevent the mic from working or just make the input barely audible.

Shouldn't that be easy to test? Just record the audio with microphone off in audacity and amplify it. Or is it not that easy?

Edit:
I tried blowing air very hard into the microphone and I could actually hear some of it on the recording. So it seems that you were right. I doubt it would be possible to hear words, but I didn't try yelling very hard.
