Class DefaultAudioDevice

java.lang.Object
com.twilio.voice.DefaultAudioDevice
All Implemented Interfaces:
AudioDevice, AudioDeviceCapturer, AudioDeviceRenderer
public class DefaultAudioDevice extends Object implements AudioDevice
DefaultAudioDevice is the default audio device module SDK uses when a custom one is not provided. By default, the Voice SDK uses `DefaultAudioDevice` to capture and render audio. The SDK performs acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and noise suppression (NS) using device hardware by default. Using device hardware is more efficient, but some devices do not implement these audio effects well. `DefaultAudioDevice` provides API `setUseHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler(...)` or `setUseHardwareNoiseSuppressor(...)` to toggle the default behavior. If you are experiencing echo or background noise on certain devices reference the following snippet for enabling software implementations of AEC and NS anytime before invoking `Voice.connect(...)` or `CallInvite.accept(...)`. 
 // Use software AEC
 DefaultAudioDevice defaultAudioDevice=new DefaultAudioDevice();
 defaultAudioDevice.setUseHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler(false);
 Voice.setAudioDevice(defaultAudioDevice);

 // Use software NS
 DefaultAudioDevice defaultAudioDevice=new DefaultAudioDevice();
 defaultAudioDevice.setUseHardwareNoiseSuppressor(false);
 Voice.setAudioDevice(defaultAudioDevice);

    • setUseHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler

      public void setUseHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler(boolean useHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler)
      Control if the built-in hardware AEC should be used or not. The default value is true.
      Parameters:
      useHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler - true if audio device should use hardware AEC, false otherwise

    • setUseHardwareNoiseSuppressor

      public void setUseHardwareNoiseSuppressor(boolean useHardwareNoiseSuppressor)
      Control if the built-in hardware noise suppressor should be used or not. The default value is true.
      Parameters:
      useHardwareNoiseSuppressor - true if audio device should use hardware noise suppressor, false otherwise.

    • useHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler

      public boolean useHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler()
      Indicates if the built-in hardware AEC is used or not. The default value is true.
      Returns:
      true if the built-in hardware AEC is used.

    • useHardwareNoiseSuppressor

      public boolean useHardwareNoiseSuppressor()
      Indicates if the built-in hardware noise suppressor is used or not. The default value is true.
      Returns:
      true if the built-in hardware noise suppressor is used.
