I have a user joining a room before the agent joins the room. The agent can't hear the user. Why?

Thanks for reaching out, Florent. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thank you for reaching out. The issue where the agent cannot hear the user when the user joins the room first could be related to how the audio tracks are being published or subscribed to in the room. One common issue is related to the "silence detected on local audio track" warning, which may occur if the microphone is not immediately active or if noise suppression features are in use. To assist you better, could you confirm the following details: • Are both the user and the agent successfully connected to the room? • Is the user's audio track being published correctly? • Are there any errors or warnings in the console logs for either the user or the agent? • Are you using any specific configurations or customizations in your setup? With this information, I can provide more targeted assistance or escalate the issue if necessary. Sources: Understanding "silence detected on local audio track" warning

How can I turn on the mic by default?
t
To turn on the microphone by default in LiveKit, you can use the
setMicrophoneEnabled
method on the
localParticipant
object. This method creates and publishes a microphone audio track if it hasn't been done already, and unmutes the microphone. Here's an example:
Copy code
room.localParticipant.setMicrophoneEnabled(true);
This will enable the microphone and publish it to a new audio track. The method uses the default capture and publish options from the Room object, so no additional parameters are needed for basic functionality. Sources: Publishing tracks | LiveKit Docs | setMicrophoneEnabled
