Route audio through earpiece on audio only calls

[singhabhilash]

Seems this has been asked multiple times, but there isn't any working solution. I tried using InCallManager as mentioned here - #173, the audio still came from the main speaker. The person who opened that issue also commented that InCallManager isn't working with OT. Do we have a solution for this? I can share the code I'm using with InCallManager and OT. Once we have a solution, we should probably update the docs also as having the ability to route audio through earpiece is pretty important for voice only calls.

For voice only calls, I guess a better default would be routing audio through earpiece.

We use InCallManager as well, and also have issues. It seems to mostly be working as expected for Android for us, but iOS is not...

I'm interesting in hearing what others are doing to address this, or if @msach22 has a recommended solution.

[evillemez]

@msach22 Do you have any recommendations here? It sounds like a number of us are trying to use InCallManager with OT to do this, but not having reliable results. Do you know of a better approach we should be trying?

[singhabhilash]

@evillemez This is also a very crucial use case for us. Hoping to get a solution.

@evillemez @msach22 it's also blocker for our project because we need this feature to switch between "ear" to "speaker" mode. Could you please tell about progress in solving of this question? Or maybe alternative ways to implement this feature?

Has there been an update on this?

[freddiecabrera]

I had to build a bridge for both ios and android to toggle the speaker on and off. I can share the code if anyone needs it.

@freddiecabrera yes, please. You can submit a PR and I'll review it

[flogy]

Would be interested in the code as well, @freddiecabrera

only for android.
I was able to switch between "ear" and "speaker" mode using InCallManager.presetSpeakerphoneOn(false) after the call
is started.
