Output device changes aren't working in 2.6's echo test when artifical delay
is on due to the fact that the feedback audio is being played via the WebAudio
context rather the the HTMLMediaElement. Since output device change works
via HTMLMediaElement's setSinkId, it's basically a no-op.
This commit fixes the issue by piping the AudioContext destination
through the main audio element rather than using WebAudio directly for
playback. An additional stub media element (muted) is added to circumvent one
of Chrome's WebAudio issue.
The alternative would be to use AudioContext's setSinkId, but it isn't
supported by Firefox (setSinkId enabled) and Chrome < 110.
This should work with FF (setSinkId enabled) and a wide array of Chromium
versions.
If BBB 2.6 is used without headphones, the audio test works differently
than in 2.5. In 2.5 audio traffic is routed to freeswitch and then
returned to the browser. This adds usually some latency which makes it
easy to hear you audio quality. In 2.6 there is a local loopback. As
there is almost no latency, it is either difficult or even impossible to
check your own audio quality as echo cancellation of the browser will
filter out your own signal.
This patch adds a delay node to the audio loopback test, which makes is
easier to check your quality.
public.media.showVolumeMeterInSettings => public.media.showVolumeMeter
public.media.simplifiedEchoTest => public.media.localEchoTest.enabled
Initial hearing state can be configured in public.media.localEchoTest.initialHearingState
New features:
- A simplified echo test mode that only does a local loopback (instead of
going to FS and back)
- A volume meter for microphone streams to the AudioSettings view
Those two features are experimental and disabled by default; see
public.app.media.simplifiedEchoTest and public.app.media.showVolumeMeter configs
Collateral changes:
- fix: localize fallback device strings in AudioSettings/DeviceSelector
- Refactor on some media stream utils to be re-usable across components
- Refactor in AudioSettings to keep gUM #uses stable.
* TODO: need to pass streams through AudioManager to avoid the surplus gUM.
- fix(audio): drop ScriptProcessorNode usage (deprecated)
* Used in volume meter for tracking - use hark instead
