I don't know of a property that tells you this. But there may be a way to
find out with the users help.
If the mic is muted I open an alert window and tell the user that they'll
need to enable it in the settings dialog. If they click OK to the alert
window then I open the Flash microphone settings window and listen for the
mic status change event to know when they've made a choice.
When you hear back from that event (in onMicAccessChange) you can check if
the muted property is still true. If they say yes then the user may have
the global settings selected. You can then inform them that the global
settings might be preventing your app from accessing the mic and then ask
them to check the global settings themselves or open the global settings
page for them. You may want to show another alert asking if the global mute
was enabled and if they click Yes then reload the app).
