Research direction

Reproduce the microphone indicator on Windows 10 using the reported LMMS versions and the steps in the issue. No files or tests are named, so trace where LMMS initializes audio or microphone-related devices and identify what triggers Windows' microphone-use indicator. Done means LMMS no longer reports microphone use during startup while its expected audio features still work.
