setLoopbackDevice
Sets the loopback device.
Details
- Since
- v4.0.1
The SDK uses the current playback device as the loopback device by default. If you want to specify another audio device as the loopback device, call this method, and set deviceId to the loopback device you want to specify.
You can call this method to change the audio route currently being used, but this does not change the default audio route. For example, if the default audio route is microphone, you call this method to set the audio route as a sound card before joinging a channel and then start a device test, the SDK conducts device test on the sound card. After the device test is completed and you join a channel, the SDK still uses the microphone for audio capturing.
The scenarios where this method is applicable are as follows:
- If the loopback device is set as the Bluetooth headset, the SDK publishes the music in app A to the remote end.
- If the loopback device is set as the speaker, the SDK does not publish the music in app A to the remote end.
- If you set the loopback device as the Bluetooth headset, and then use a wired headset to play the music in app A, you need to call this method again, set the loopback device as the wired headset, and the SDK continues to publish the music in app A to remote end.
Parameters
- deviceId
-
Specifies the loopback device of the SDK. You can get the device ID by calling enumeratePlaybackDevices. Connecting or disconnecting the audio device does not change the value of deviceId.
Returns
setPlaybackDevice
Sets the audio playback device.
Details
You can call this method to change the audio route currently being used, but this does not change the default audio route. For example, if the default audio route is speaker 1, you call this method to set the audio route as speaker 2 before joinging a channel and then start a device test, the SDK conducts device test on speaker 2. After the device test is completed and you join a channel, the SDK still uses speaker 1, the default audio route.
Parameters
- deviceId
-
The ID of the specified audio playback device. You can get the device ID by calling enumeratePlaybackDevices. Connecting or disconnecting the audio device does not change the value of deviceId.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
setPlaybackDeviceMute
Mutes the audio playback device.
Parameters
- mute
-
Whether to mute the audio playback device:
true: Mute the audio playback device.false: Unmute the audio playback device.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
setPlaybackDeviceVolume
Sets the volume of the audio playback device.
Details
Parameters
- volume
- The volume of the audio playback device. The value range is [0,255].
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
setRecordingDevice
Sets the audio capture device.
Details
You can call this method to change the audio route currently being used, but this does not change the default audio route. For example, if the default audio route is microphone, you call this method to set the audio route as bluetooth earphones before joinging a channel and then start a device test, the SDK conducts device test on the bluetooth earphones. After the device test is completed and you join a channel, the SDK still uses the microphone for audio capturing.
Parameters
- deviceId
-
The ID of the audio capture device. You can get the Device ID by calling enumerateRecordingDevices. Connecting or disconnecting the audio device does not change the value of deviceId.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.

Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
setRecordingDeviceVolume
Sets the volume of the audio capture device.
Details
Parameters
- volume
- The volume of the audio recording device. The value range is [0,255]. 0 means no sound, 255 means maximum volume.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
startAudioDeviceLoopbackTest
Starts an audio device loopback test.
Details
This method tests whether the local audio capture device and playback device are working properly. After starting the test, the audio capture device records the local audio, and the audio playback device plays the captured audio. The SDK triggers two independent onAudioVolumeIndication callbacks at the time interval set in this method, which reports the volume information of the capture device (uid = 0) and the volume information of the playback device (uid = 1) respectively.
- You can call this method either before or after joining a channel.
- This method only takes effect when called by the host.
- This method tests local audio devices and does not report the network conditions.
- When you finished testing, call stopAudioDeviceLoopbackTest to stop the audio device loopback test.
Parameters
- indicationInterval
- The time interval (ms) at which the SDK triggers the onAudioVolumeIndication callback. Agora recommends setting a value greater than 200 ms. This value must not be less than 10 ms; otherwise, you can not receive the onAudioVolumeIndication callback.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
startPlaybackDeviceTest
Starts the audio playback device test.
public abstract int startPlaybackDeviceTest(String audioFileName);
Details
This method tests whether the audio device for local playback works properly. Once a user starts the test, the SDK plays an audio file specified by the user. If the user can hear the audio, the playback device works properly.
After calling this method, the SDK triggers the onAudioVolumeIndication callback every 100 ms, reporting uid = 1 and the volume information of the playback device.
The difference between this method and the startEchoTest method is that the former checks if the local audio playback device is working properly, while the latter can check the audio and video devices and network conditions.
Parameters
- audioFileName
-
The path of the audio file. The data format is string in UTF-8.
- Supported file formats: wav, mp3, m4a, and aac.
- Supported file sample rates: 8000, 16000, 32000, 44100, and 48000 Hz.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
startRecordingDeviceTest
Starts the audio capturing device test.
public abstract int startRecordingDeviceTest(int indicationInterval);
Details
This method tests whether the audio capturing device works properly. After calling this method, the SDK triggers the onAudioVolumeIndication callback at the time interval set in this method, which reports uid = 0 and the volume information of the capturing device.
The difference between this method and the startEchoTest method is that the former checks if the local audio capturing device is working properly, while the latter can check the audio and video devices and network conditions.
Parameters
- indicationInterval
- The interval (ms) for triggering the onAudioVolumeIndication callback. This value should be set to greater than 10, otherwise, you will not receive the onAudioVolumeIndication callback and the SDK returns the error code
-2. Agora recommends that you set this value to 100.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
- -2: Invalid parameters. Check your parameter settings.
stopAudioDeviceLoopbackTest

Returns
- 0: Success.
- < 0: Failure.
