@millions-hair-24956 Is there a way to reduce the volume of the audio from an agent dynamically?
g
Yes, you can dynamically adjust the volume of audio from an agent using the
setVolume
method on
RemoteParticipant
or
RemoteAudioTrack
. For example, in the LiveKit Swift SDK, you can set the
volume
attribute on a
RemoteAudioTrack
to control the audio level (source). Similarly, in the React SDK, you can use the
volume
property of an
AudioTrack
component (source). Would you like more details on implementing this in a specific SDK or platform? Sources: - LiveKit Swift SDK Volume Control - LiveKit React SDK Volume Control 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@millions-hair-24956 I want to be able to set the volume of the agents track from the agent backend
g
It seems likely that setting the volume of an agent's track directly from the agent backend is not explicitly supported by LiveKit. Volume adjustments are typically handled on the client side using methods like
setVolume
on
RemoteParticipant
or
RemoteAudioTrack
(source). If you need to control audio levels from the backend, you might consider implementing a custom solution using the Web Audio API or similar technologies to process audio data before it is sent to clients. Would you like more information on client-side volume control or potential backend workarounds?

@millions-hair-24956 got it. Thanks. Also, what is the
livekit.agents.pipeline.plotter
for? What does it do?
g
It might be that the
livekit.agents.pipeline.plotter
module is used for plotting events and values related to the LiveKit agent's operation. The
AssistantPlotter
class within this module can start a plotting process and send messages to plot specific events or values, such as voice activity detection probabilities or volume levels (source). Would you like more detailed information on how to use this module or its specific methods?

@millions-hair-24956 Is there a way to temporarily pause audio being captured and then resume it on an agent backend?
g
It seems likely that temporarily pausing and resuming audio capture on an agent backend is not directly supported by LiveKit. However, you might be able to achieve this by managing the audio stream manually. You could stop capturing audio frames and then resume by controlling the flow of audio data to the processing pipeline (source). Would you like more detailed guidance on implementing this approach or exploring alternative methods?
