It seems likely that you can disable TTS in the 
VoicePipelineAgent
by customizing the agent's configuration. You might consider using a custom no-op TTS subclass or adjusting the pipeline to bypass TTS processing. According to LiveKit documentation, you can use the 
before_tts_cb
callback to modify or skip the TTS synthesis step. Would you like more details on how to implement this? Sources: - LiveKit documentation 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

To disable TTS in the 
VoicePipelineAgent
using Python, you can utilize the 
before_tts_cb
callback to intercept and modify the text before it is sent to the TTS model. By returning 
None
or an empty string from this callback, you can effectively skip the TTS synthesis step. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Define a No-Op TTS Callback: Create a callback function that returns 
None
or an empty string, which will prevent any text from being synthesized into speech. 2. Initialize the VoicePipelineAgent: When creating the 
VoicePipelineAgent
, pass the 
before_tts_cb
parameter with your no-op callback function. 3. Start the Agent: Use the 
start
method to begin processing, ensuring that the TTS step is bypassed. Here's an example implementation:
Copy code
from livekit.agents.pipeline import VoicePipelineAgent
from livekit.plugins import deepgram, openai, silero

# Define a no-op TTS callback
def no_op_tts_callback(assistant, text):
    return None  # or return an empty string ""

# Initialize the VoicePipelineAgent
agent = VoicePipelineAgent(
    vad=silero.VAD.load(),
    stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-2-general"),
    llm=openai.LLM(),
    tts=openai.TTS(),  # TTS is still initialized but will be bypassed
    before_tts_cb=no_op_tts_callback,  # Use the no-op callback
)

# Start the agent for a particular room and participant
agent.start(room, participant)
This setup ensures that the TTS step is effectively disabled, allowing you to handle text output without converting it to speech. If you need further customization or encounter issues, consider reviewing the LiveKit documentation for additional options and parameters.

how can i make the voicepipelineagent's voice muted when someone joins to him, but keep the tts and the llm working and only the voice is muted @millions-hair-24956
g
It seems likely that you can mute the `VoicePipelineAgent`'s voice output while keeping the TTS and LLM functionalities active by controlling the audio track publication. You can achieve this by not publishing the audio track or by muting it after it's published. Here's a step-by-step approach: 1. Initialize the VoicePipelineAgent: Set up the agent with the necessary components (VAD, STT, LLM, TTS). 2. Mute the Audio Track: After the agent starts, you can mute the audio track to prevent the voice from being heard. This can be done by accessing the audio track and setting it to mute. Here's an example implementation:
Copy code
from livekit.agents.pipeline import VoicePipelineAgent
from livekit.plugins import deepgram, openai, silero

# Initialize the VoicePipelineAgent
agent = VoicePipelineAgent(
    vad=silero.VAD.load(),
    stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-2-general"),
    llm=openai.LLM(),
    tts=openai.TTS(),
)

# Start the agent for a particular room and participant
agent.start(room, participant)

# Mute the audio track
async def mute_agent_voice():
    if agent._agent_publication:
        await agent._agent_publication.track.set_muted(True)

# Call the mute function after starting the agent
await mute_agent_voice()
This setup ensures that the agent's voice is muted while still processing text through TTS and LLM. If you need further customization or encounter issues, consider reviewing the LiveKit documentation for additional options and parameters.

@millions-hair-24956 go on detalis on how i can mute/disable the voice piple line agent tts voice
g
To mute or disable the voice output of the 
VoicePipelineAgent
while keeping the TTS and LLM functionalities active, you can follow these steps: 1. Initialize the VoicePipelineAgent: Set up the agent with the necessary components (VAD, STT, LLM, TTS). 2. Use a No-Op TTS Callback: Implement a callback function that effectively bypasses the TTS output by returning 
None
or an empty string. This will prevent any audio from being synthesized and played. 3. Start the Agent: Use the 
start
method to begin processing, ensuring that the TTS step is bypassed. Here's a detailed implementation in Python:
Copy code
from livekit.agents.pipeline import VoicePipelineAgent
from livekit.plugins import deepgram, openai, silero

# Define a no-op TTS callback
def no_op_tts_callback(assistant, text):
    return None  # or return an empty string ""

# Initialize the VoicePipelineAgent
agent = VoicePipelineAgent(
    vad=silero.VAD.load(),
    stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-2-general"),
    llm=openai.LLM(),
    tts=openai.TTS(),  # TTS is still initialized but will be bypassed
    before_tts_cb=no_op_tts_callback,  # Use the no-op callback
)

# Start the agent for a particular room and participant
agent.start(room, participant)
Explanation: - No-Op TTS Callback: The 
no_op_tts_callback
function is defined to return 
None
, which effectively disables the TTS output. This means that even though the TTS component is initialized, it won't produce any audio output. - Agent Initialization: The 
VoicePipelineAgent
is initialized with the necessary components, including VAD, STT, LLM, and TTS. The 
before_tts_cb
parameter is set to the no-op callback to ensure that TTS is bypassed. - Agent Start: The 
start
method is called to begin processing. The agent will handle text input and LLM processing, but the TTS output will be muted due to the no-op callback. This approach allows you to maintain the functionality of the TTS and LLM components without producing audible output. If you need further customization or encounter issues, consider reviewing the LiveKit documentation for additional options and parameters.

@millions-hair-24956 ok it tried it it muted, but i can hear a minimal sound, or a letter at the inisal reply
g
It seems likely that the minimal sound or initial letter you hear might be due to the TTS system starting before the no-op callback takes effect. To address this, you can ensure that the TTS output is completely bypassed by modifying the callback to handle any initial text more explicitly. Here's how you can refine the approach: 1. Modify the No-Op TTS Callback: Ensure that the callback explicitly returns an empty string or 
None
for any input, which should prevent any sound from being generated. 2. Check for Initial Text: If there's a specific initial text that triggers the sound, you can add logic to handle or ignore it. Here's an updated implementation:
Copy code
from livekit.agents.pipeline import VoicePipelineAgent
from livekit.plugins import deepgram, openai, silero

# Define a no-op TTS callback
def no_op_tts_callback(assistant, text):
    # Explicitly handle any initial text
    if text:
        return ""  # Return an empty string to ensure no sound is produced
    return None

# Initialize the VoicePipelineAgent
agent = VoicePipelineAgent(
    vad=silero.VAD.load(),
    stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-2-general"),
    llm=openai.LLM(),
    tts=openai.TTS(),  # TTS is still initialized but will be bypassed
    before_tts_cb=no_op_tts_callback,  # Use the no-op callback
)

# Start the agent for a particular room and participant
agent.start(room, participant)
Explanation: - No-Op TTS Callback: The callback now explicitly checks if there is any text and returns an empty string to ensure no sound is produced. This should help in cases where an initial sound or letter is heard. - Agent Initialization: The setup remains the same, with the 
before_tts_cb
parameter set to the no-op callback. This approach should help eliminate any residual sounds. If the issue persists, consider checking the TTS model's initialization or any default settings that might be causing the sound. If you need further assistance, reviewing the LiveKit documentation might provide additional insights. Would you like more details or assistance with a specific part of this process?

@millions-hair-24956 what are the avilable parameters for the voice pipe line agent vad ?
g
The 
VoicePipelineAgent
in LiveKit uses the Silero VAD (Voice Activity Detection) plugin, which provides several parameters to customize its behavior. Here are the available parameters for the VAD: 1. 
min_speech_duration
: Minimum duration of speech required to start a new speech chunk. 2. 
min_silence_duration
: Duration of silence required at the end of speech before considering the speech segment finished. 3. 
prefix_padding_duration
: Duration of padding added to the beginning of each speech chunk. 4. 
max_buffered_speech
: Maximum duration of speech to keep in the buffer (in seconds). 5. 
activation_threshold
: Threshold to consider a frame as speech. A higher threshold makes the VAD less sensitive to noise. 6. 
sample_rate
: Sample rate for the inference, supporting 8KHz and 16KHz. 7. 
force_cpu
: Boolean to force the use of CPU for inference. These parameters can be adjusted when loading the VAD model to suit your application's needs. For example:
Copy code
from livekit.plugins import silero

vad = silero.VAD.load(
    min_speech_duration=0.05,
    min_silence_duration=0.55,
    prefix_padding_duration=0.5,
    max_buffered_speech=60.0,
    activation_threshold=0.5,
    sample_rate=16000,
    force_cpu=True

@millions-hair-24956 what are the avilable parameters for the voice pipe line agent turn detector ?
g
The 
VoicePipelineAgent
in LiveKit uses Voice Activity Detection (VAD) for turn detection, which can be fine-tuned using several parameters. Here are the available parameters for configuring the turn detector: 1. 
threshold
: Adjusts the sensitivity of the VAD. A lower threshold makes the VAD more sensitive to speech, detecting quieter sounds, while a higher threshold makes it less sensitive. The default value is 0.5. 2. 
prefix_padding_ms
: The amount of time (in milliseconds) to pad before the detected speech. This helps prevent very short sounds from triggering speech detection. 3. 
silence_duration_ms
: The amount of silence (in milliseconds) required to consider the speech finished. This ensures brief pauses do not prematurely end a speech segment. These parameters can be adjusted to suit your application's needs, ensuring accurate turn detection and natural conversation flow. Here's an example of how you might configure these parameters:
Copy code
from livekit.agents.pipeline import VoicePipelineAgent
from livekit.plugins import deepgram, openai, silero

# Initialize the VoicePipelineAgent with custom VAD parameters
agent = VoicePipelineAgent(
    vad=silero.VAD.load(
        threshold=0.6,
        prefix_padding_ms=200,
        silence_duration_ms=500
    ),
    stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-2-general"),
    llm=openai.LLM(),
    tts=openai.TTS(),
)

# Start the agent for a particular room and participant
agent.start(room, participant)
This setup allows you to fine-tune the VAD to better handle different environments and user interactions.

@millions-hair-24956 what can i give the llm.ChatContext ?
g
The 
llm.ChatContext
in LiveKit is used to manage the conversation context for the language model. You can provide it with a list of 
ChatMessage
objects, which include the role (e.g., "system", "user", "assistant") and the text content of the message. Here's how you can use it: 1. Initialize ChatContext: Create a new 
ChatContext
instance. 2. Append Messages: Use the 
append
method to add messages to the context. Each message can have a role and text. Here's an example:
Copy code
from livekit.agents.llm import ChatContext, ChatMessage

# Create a new ChatContext
chat_ctx = ChatContext()

# Append messages to the context
chat_ctx.append(role="system", text="You are a helpful assistant.")
chat_ctx.append(role="user", text="What is the weather today?")
chat_ctx.append(role="assistant", text="The weather is sunny with a high of 25°C.")

# Use the chat context in your agent
agent = VoicePipelineAgent(
    vad=silero.VAD.load(),
    stt=deepgram.STT(model="nova-2-general"),
    llm=openai.LLM(),
    tts=openai.TTS(),
    chat_ctx=chat_ctx,  # Pass the chat context
)
Explanation: - Role: The role can be "system", "user", or "assistant", indicating who is speaking. - Text: The text content of the message.
