Hey there! The warning "silence detected on local audio track" pops up when the LiveKit JavaScript client SDK notices silence on a freshly published microphone track. This happens because of the

detectSilence()

method, which keeps an ear out for a bit right after the track goes live to make sure everything’s working fine. Here are some common reasons you might see this: • Noise suppression: Sometimes devices like Apple EarPods or noise-canceling software can trick the system into thinking there’s silence when there isn’t. • Initial silence: It’s totally normal if you don’t start talking right away after publishing your track. This warning is mostly just a heads-up and usually doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your hardware, especially if your audio sounds good afterward. But if you do run into any other problems, just give me a shout—I’m here to help!
