Arlo Pro 2 Mic setting

In device settings for the cameras, under "Audio Settings", you can turn off the Microphone. Why then, when I toggle the micophones off, do I still get Audio detections when armed?? Windy days are proving to be a bane for my eaves mounted cameras. Having to disarm the system so as to not be driven crazy with the non stop audio alerts when it gets windy.

Have you turned off audio detections in your modes/rules?

Going through the same thing, I have a mode for windy days that reduces the sensitivity of the microphone. Plus I disable email and push notification so the cellphones and tablets aren't continuously sounding a chime each time there is a gust. I may wear the batteries down faster and I may end up with a lot more recordings, but I won't miss anything either.
