The method

session.input.set_audio_enabled(False)

disables the audio input for the agent session in LiveKit, meaning the agent will stop listening to audio until audio input is re-enabled. It is typically used in scenarios such as push-to-talk functionality where audio input is manually controlled. If you need further clarification or details on how to use this function, please let me know. Sources: examples/other/text_only.py

do we need to put await before session.input.set_audio_enabled

Hey there! I totally understand the confusion with async methods. When it comes to LiveKit's session.input.set_audio_enabled, you actually don't need to use await. It's a straightforward, synchronous method that you can call directly—just like in the official examples.You can simply use it like this:session.input.set_audio_enabled(False)This approach is shown in the push-to-talk feature documentation. Pretty simple, right?Got any other questions about how this works? I'm here to help and happy to chat more about it! Sources: examples/other/transcription/translator.py
