# Configuring audio with WebRTC

### Configure Speech Recognizer before and after call

X2's Speech Recognizer will by default have control of the system microphone. Please make sure the voice recognizer is paused before initiating a WebRTC call as the glasses continuously access the microphone. Such resources (microphone) can’t be shared with multiple processes at the same time. To pause microphone, execute this before initiating/accepting the call:

```
const val THIRD_EYE_VOICE_COMMAND_INTENT_PACKAGE =
"com.thirdeyegen.api.voicecommand"

fun pauseVoiceRecognizer(context: Context) {
    val intent =
        Intent(THIRD_EYE_VOICE_COMMAND_INTENT_PACKAGE)
intent.putExtra("instructions", "interrupt")
context.sendBroadcast(intent)
}
```

And when the call is over, resume the recognizer like this:

```
fun resumeVoiceRecognizer(context: Context) {
    val intent =
        Intent(THIRD_EYE_VOICE_COMMAND_INTENT_PACKAGE)
    intent.putExtra("instructions", "resume")
    context.sendBroadcast(intent)
}
```

### Configure your application to us the built-in speaker 

Another issue might be the glasses might be trying to stream audio through the headphone line. To make sure that the glasses are routing audio through the in-built speakers please execute this line during/before the call:

```
private var audioManager = getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE) as
AudioManager

audioManager.isSpeakerphoneOn = true
audioManager.mode = AudioManager.MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION

```

### Modifying WebRTC Configuration

If the audio has a lot of noise, after making modification specified in the previous sections, please make sure that you are using correct WebRTC audio configuration like this:

```
AudioDeviceModule adm = createAudioDeviceModule();

peerConnectionFactory = PeerConnectionFactory.builder()
    .setVideoEncoderFactory(encoderFactory)
    .setVideoDecoderFactory(decoderFactory)
    .setAudioDeviceModule(adm)//Important
    .setOptions(options)
    .createPeerConnectionFactory();
    
private AudioDeviceModule createAudioDeviceModule() {
    return builder(activity)
        .setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC)
        .setUseHardwareAcousticEchoCanceler(false) //Important
        .setUseHardwareNoiseSuppressor(false) //Important
        // .setInputSampleRate(16000)
        .createAudioDeviceModule();
}

```

When using Twilio, to make these modifications a developer will have to download the Twilio source code from GitHub and make changes there. This code should be used that code as a dependency, instead of using a pre-built Gradle dependency. This fixes the noise, and is required to be added when creating peer connection factory.
