Toogling audio output between earpiece and speaker about audio_session HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello @ryanheise ,

I was reading in-depth the documentation and I realized that AVAudioSession playAndRecord category solve my problems:

• plays audio through earpiece
• locks the screen

Both for android and ios the code would be something like

    final session = await AudioSession.instance;
    final AndroidAudioAttributes currentAndroidAttributes = session.configuration.androidAudioAttributes;
    await session.configure(
      session.configuration.copyWith(
        androidAudioAttributes: AndroidAudioAttributes(
          usage: AndroidAudioUsage.voiceCommunication,
          flags: currentAndroidAttributes.flags,
          contentType: currentAndroidAttributes.contentType,
        ),
        avAudioSessionCategory: AVAudioSessionCategory.playAndRecord,
      ),
    );

I think it would be interesting to encapsulate a similar logic in a public function in the AudioPlayer.

Thanks for the support!

Hi @mmartinalo , the eventual goal is to implement all of the AVAudioSession API but I started with just the features that I personally needed. If you take a look at the source documentation for Apple's AVAudioSession , perhaps you can identify which features you need, then you can let me know and I can add those features next.

Glad you found a solution. I'd rather have a clear separation of concerns between these two plugins so that audio_session is responsible for switching between devices or detecting when a switch occurs, while just_audio doesn't need to know.

Interestingly, the name "just" audio actually stemmed from a goal to build an audio plugin that didn't take on any other responsibilities besides the audio signal itself, while different plugins could handle settings for the hardware devices, etc.

Would you mind sharing your solution on this issue? #37

The goal of that issue is to provide a convenience method in the AudioSession class to handle this common use case in a platform-independent way (while still keeping the native APIs available for more advanced use cases).
