Hi @miroslavpejic85 ,

Thanks for the quick patch.

Unfortunately, now it is even worse. :-)

Now the UI does show properly the remembered choice but the audio engine completely ignores it.

So:

1. We set our choice to audio device B
2. Everything is working as expected.
3. Close browser, start again
4. UI showing audio device B
5. No audio!
6. Close browser, start again
7. UI showing audio device B
8. No audio!
9. The only way to make it work again is to deliberately switch to audio device A, start session (of course, no audio), close the browser, start again, manually set to device B, and thus we are back to point number 2.

At least before, the UI was showing that something is off, after a few restarts, but now the UI is showing that everything is ok, while in fact, there is no audio.

In other words, it works only the first time we set it to audio device B and never again. Until we rejig the UI controls deliberately to make it work again.

Thanks.

Hi @AtmanActive, you're welcome ;)

Try to clear the cache to see if it resolves the problem. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the audio issue:

1. Clear Browser Cache:

   • Clear the browser cache to ensure that there are no conflicting or outdated settings causing the problem.

2. Check Audio Device Settings:

   • Confirm that the audio device settings in your operating system are correctly configured. Sometimes, issues can arise if there are conflicts or incorrect settings at the system level.

3. Update Browser and Audio Drivers:

   • Ensure that your browser is up-to-date. An outdated browser version might have compatibility issues.
   • Similarly, make sure that your audio drivers are up-to-date. Check the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers for your audio device.

4. Try a Different Browser:

   • If the issue persists, try using a different browser to see if the problem is specific to the browser you are currently using.

5. Check for Browser Extensions:

   • Some browser extensions or add-ons might interfere with audio settings. Disable extensions one by one to identify if any of them are causing the issue.

Note

Please note that the selected video and audio devices will be retained if the count of it before and after the modification remains the same. If a device is removed or a new one is added, the default video/audio will be preserved.

Let me know and thank to you.

Please note that the selected video and audio devices will be retained if the count of it before and after the modification remains the same. If a device is removed or a new one is added, the default video/audio will be preserved.

WIP: I want to enhance the logic by checking if the previous selected ID exists rather than comparing the count of devices. If the previous selected ID does not exist, will be selected to the default one.

The issue of switching between video (camera) and audio (microphone) devices while preserving the previous state has been addressed. However, the audio speakers related issue remains unresolved at the moment. As a temporary measure, the system has been reverted to its default state before join room until a resolution is found.

Hi @AtmanActive, Should be fixed.

[AtmanActive]

Sorry, I'm bed ridden with fever at the moment, will test it out as soon as I get back on my feet.

Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. Take the time you need to rest and recover.

Note

In the audio output (speaker), you will exclusively hear the voices of other participants. If you find yourself alone in the room, you won't perceive any audio. This design intentionally excludes self-auditory feedback, as it lacks practical significance to hear oneself. :)

I'm closing the task now as I've tested it and everything seems to be working correctly to not bother. The alternate audio devices are being remembered as expected. I invite anyone in the future to join our forum and discuss there too. 🙏
Thank you!
