Notification sounds ignore output device settings

Question

Notification sounds ignore output device settings

pbirkants opened this issue 2 years ago · 12 comments

Description:

Changing the output device in Jitsi settings affects only call audio instead of all sounds emitted by Jitsi.

This seems counter-intuitive, especially when embedding Jitsi via IFrame API and controlling device selection externally.

Steps to reproduce:

Start a new meeting.
Open Jitsi sound settings, select a non-default output device, play test sound.
Close settings.
Trigger any sound in Jitsi UI, e.g. by sending a reaction or joining the meeting in another browser tab.

Expected behavior:

All sounds are played via selected output device.

Actual behavior:

Only the sound test tone and actual call audio is played through the selected device. Other UI sounds are played through the default output device.

Server information:

Reproducible on https://meet.jit.si/

Client information:

I'm using Chromium 108 on Debian sid, but, looking at the source code, this is not implemented and not a browser issue.

You are welcome to work on a fix, we don't "assign" issues per se here.

Could not reproduce it. All sounds ( Voice / Polls created ) came through the connected Bluetooth headset.

Version 1.47.186 Chromium: 109.0.5414.119 (Official Build) (x86_64)

Am I missing something ? Has this already been fixed ?

I think the problem is reproducible if you change the device inside Jitsi but leave the default to be a different one.

change your output from headphones to speakers and then it will be reproducible.

Answer 10 · 2023-06-02T15:30:55.000Z

I can only hear the sounds from the reactions if I select the output device as the speaker of my laptop no matter what I try the reaction sounds are not coming from my bluetooth earphones. I have tried using two different bluetooth earphones but the result has been the same.
