How to Disable the purple indicator dot of System Audio Recording

I am using SoundSource app for Equalising the audio and whenever I watch anything, I get this purple indicator dot representing the Audio Recording Kit Plugin the SoundSource app uses. And it is very annoying. So I just want to disable that function.


Just like how Apple gave us the option to disable the Privacy Indicators for Camera and Microphone (green and orange dots), in this link - Hide privacy indicators on external displays in macOS - Apple Support (IN)


What I am expecting is a code like how they gave this for the Camera Setting

system-override suppress-sw-camera-indication-on-external-displays=on


for the System Audio Recording settings

(something like "system-override suppress-sw-system-audio-recording-indication-on-external-displays=on" (idk))


Anybody who knows how to disable this indicator, please help me out.

I have reported the same problem to Apple. Since I use a Mac mini, my monitor is my only display, which mean that I can't even turn off the green and orange dot either. I find the purple dot even more annoying since it's activated by screenshots and it also shows up in my screenshots. They should give us an option to "White List" apps so the privacy notification doesn't appear.
