Can I use adaptative interruption without livekit turn detector?

Thanks for reaching out, Yousri. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


Thanks — quick answer: yes.

Adaptive interruption handling is independent from the LiveKit turn detector. Adaptive interruption analyzes audio (acoustic cues) during agent playback to detect true barge-ins and runs server-side; it does not require the turn detector. If you prefer, you can also disable adaptive interruption and fall back to VAD-only by setting interruption `mode` to `"vad"` in turn handling options.

Would you like steps to enable/disable adaptive interruption or a link to the docs?
