you can use this https://docs.livekit.io/client-sdk-js/classes/Room.html#switchActiveDevice

Uh okay nice, I should have read it better but I assumed it was only for the mic/cam. Let me look at the implementation, I didn't see the

setSinkId

being referenced anywhere

As far as I am aware, there’s currently no way to retrieve the currently set

audioutput

@polite-kilobyte-67570 thanks for the feedback, I'll create a Feature Request on Github... Do you want me to create a PR for it or would you rather handle it yourself? (It's not super urgent for me)

I’ll have to check what impact the change would have in different scenarios also depending on which level calls it, so I guess I’ll take a stab at it myself. Thanks for offering!

Here's the issue https://github.com/livekit/client-sdk-js/issues/497

ah, sorry got confused with the threads, for this issue feel free to open a PR! I was thinking about the mute thing

okay, which of the approaches do you prefer @polite-kilobyte-67570?

you mean between

getActiveDevice

and

getActiveAudioDevice

?

Hmm good question. I'd start with something like this

getActiveAudioOutputDevice() {
    // throw exception if setSinkId isn't supported
    const deviceId = this.options.audioOutput.deviceId;
    if(deviceId)
        return deviceId;
    //else either return `undefined` here or go on to:
    //check if we have the permission to access the mic (needed to list the available output devices)
    //if not -> return undefined?
    //if yes -> list available output devices, find 'default' device and translate to the correct device ID
}

so for

localTracks

there is already a

getDeviceId

function that handles this. so maybe limiting it to the audioOutput would make sense

Here's a first draft. Let me know what you think @polite-kilobyte-67570 https://github.com/livekit/client-sdk-js/pull/500

hi @best-parrot-43500, thanks for the PR! I think this looks good, just thinking it might make sense to use the

empty string

instead of

undefined

as that seems to be the correct way for “default” device according to the spec: https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-output/#attributes

I like that
