Allow music mode to be turned on/off while the call is running - #1787
Conversation
The platform noise suppressor is decided when the audio device module is built, from the audio bitrate profile alone, and MUSIC_HIGH_QUALITY is the only thing that turns it off — a profile that cannot be selected once the call is joined. A broadcaster who starts playing music mid-broadcast is suppressed to near silence with no way out. The effect is attached to the live recording session, so unlike the builder flag it can be changed while capture runs. Expose that on MicrophoneManager as its own control, independent of the profile: the software audio processing, the noise-cancellation processor and the bitrate are untouched. A recording session drops the platform effects and rebuilds them from the builder flags, so the request is remembered and re-applied whenever capture starts. Without that it would silently revert on the next reconnect.
Echo cancellation, noise suppression, automatic gain control and the high-pass filter are all tuned for speech — automatic gain control audibly pumps sustained music. They are fixed when the audio source is created, from the audio bitrate profile, so today the only way to change them is to pick MUSIC_HIGH_QUALITY before joining. Expose them on MicrophoneManager as their own control. Applying a change builds a fresh audio source and track and moves the live sender onto it, which costs a brief gap in captured audio but needs no renegotiation. The swap is the delicate part. RtpSender.setTrack disposes the track it currently holds only when it owns it, and MediaManagerImpl already owns and disposes the audio track, so the sender is handed the new track with ownership left behind — disposal stays in exactly one place. The rebuild runs under the media lock and rolls the new pair back if no sender accepted it, so a failed swap never tears down the source that is still live.
Adds the two runtime controls to the in-call debug submenu so they can be exercised on a device: each item shows the current state, highlights when the stage is on, and flips it. Both setters report whether the platform actually applied the change, and the menu surfaces a refusal as a toast. Without it a toggle that did nothing — unsupported device, or no capture running — looks identical to one that worked, which is the failure the controls are most likely to hit in the field.
The audio bitrate was fixed when the transceiver was created, from the audio bitrate profile, so it could only be chosen before joining. It rides on the sender's encoding rather than the SDP, so it can be changed on a running call through RtpParameters — the same way the video layers and the degradation preference already are. No renegotiation, no track swap, no gap. Verifying that needed stats that did not exist. Every group CallStats consumed was video; audio was dropped on the floor even though the report carries it. Adds audio send and receive bitrate measured from the RTP byte counters, the encoder's target bitrate, and the negotiated audio codec with its fmtp line. The two existing bitrate rows are renamed to say what they are. They report availableOutgoingBitrate from the candidate pair — a bandwidth estimate, not a transmitted rate — and they sit at zero whenever the selected pair omits it, which reads as a broken stat rather than an absent one. Measured on a Pixel 7: outbound-rtp targetBitrate moves 64000 -> 128000 with the negotiated fmtp untouched, so nothing clamps the request.

Switching a live broadcast to music meant four calls across two objects, one of which silently no-ops when no processor is attached, and none discoverable from the others. Turning off three of the four changes nothing audible, because the fourth is still running. MicrophoneManager.applyAudioProfile() moves every stage that is still reachable mid-call — the noise-cancellation processor, the platform noise suppressor, WebRTC's software audio processing and the publisher's maximum audio bitrate — and reports each one separately, since they fail independently and for unrelated reasons. Leaving music restores the bitrate the SFU negotiated at join rather than a guess at it. Applying a profile clears any per-stage override, so the profile is the last word; the single-stage setters no longer mark the stage overridden when the profile itself is what set them.
The per-stage controls were four ways to get the same switch half-right: turning off three of the four changes nothing audible, because the fourth is still running. They are removed, along with applyAudioProfile, which was a second spelling of the same intent. setAudioBitrateProfile no longer refuses once the call is joined. Before joining it is unchanged. After joining it applies the profile to the stages still reachable — the noise-cancellation processor, the platform noise suppressor, WebRTC's software audio processing and the publisher's maximum audio bitrate — and returns AudioProfileResult, one flag per stage. With no per-stage controls left, that report is the only way to tell which stage is still processing the old way, so it reports each rather than short-circuiting on the first refusal. The dashboard HiFi gate applies after joining too: the profiles mean the same thing whenever they are set, so they answer to the same setting. Per-stage state is now derived from the profile alone and kept private, so it cannot disagree with audioBitrateProfile about what the call is doing. setCommunicationAudioModeEnabled stays out of every profile: it costs echo cancellation, communication routing and Bluetooth capture.
Nothing sets forkEvery on testDebugUnitTest, so every Robolectric sandbox this module opens — one per SDK level named in @config, six of them — accumulates in a single JVM. On CI that runs out of heap while loading an android-all jar. Which class reports the failure depends on execution order, so the telecom and notification tests took the blame repeatedly for a limit they had no part in reaching. Every run on this branch has failed this way since Aug 27. The Xmx in gradle.properties applies to the Gradle daemon, not the forked test JVM, so it never governed this.

audioBitrateProfile moved on every call, including one where no stage changed. A toggle bound to it then sat on MUSIC while a suppressor was still eating the music — indistinguishable from success, which is the failure the flow exists to catch. It now moves only when the switch took; before joining that is always, since the pipeline is built from the profile. Gating on the result meant the result had to be trustworthy first. setNoiseSuppressorEnabled returns false whether the device has no platform suppressor or one refused, so a healthy device with no suppressor reported a failed stage. isBuiltInNoiseSuppressorSupported separates the two: nothing suppressing means the profile is satisfied, the same rule already applied to an absent noise-cancellation processor. A partial switch leaves the stages that moved where they are and reports them; rolling them back would cost another audio gap mid-broadcast to reach a state the caller did not ask for either.
…complete The profile flow stopped moving on a partial switch, but the state derived from the profile moved anyway — so a call could report voice while every future audio source was built for music, and while the suppressor remembered a music value to re-apply on the next capture restart. That state now goes back when the switch does not complete, and the two stages that cost nothing to put back are re-requested with it. The stages that did move stay moved until the next source rebuild: undoing the software processing stage means a second RtpSender.setTrack swap on a live connection, which costs another gap in captured audio and re-enters the publisher's disposed-track path. Trading a partial switch for a possible force-rejoin is a bad bargain. The switch also stops inventing a bitrate. The SFU sends one per profile in PublishOption.audio_bitrate_profiles — the same value a freshly created audio transceiver is given — so the constants are now only a fallback for a server that named none.
… it applied setAudioMaxBitrate assigned the sender's parameters property, which throws away the boolean WebRTC answers with, and returned true regardless. A rejected update was reported to the caller as an applied stage — the half-applied switch AudioProfileResult exists to surface.
…nges An active AudioSwitch takes audio focus while it enumerates devices, which puts the device back in MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION before the change listener runs. Only selectDevice re-applied the request, so an automatic route change silently reverted a MODE_NORMAL asked for through setCommunicationModeEnabled — the mode the vendor capture chain is selected by. The listener is now wrapped so route changes go through the same re-apply.
updateFromRTCStats is fed the publisher and the subscriber report separately, and the codec:audio branch wrote the first codec it found to both PeerConnectionStats. Whichever report ran last showed on both directions. The codec is now resolved through the matching RTP statistic's codecId, and only the reported direction is updated.
replaceAudioSourceAndTrack set the replacement track from microphone.isEnabled, but enable and disable only move _status when fromUser is true — so a lifecycle-driven pause leaves the flow reading enabled while the track is off, and the reverse. Reading the flow could mute a publishing call mid-switch. The outgoing track is asked instead, with the flow as the fallback for the first build.
Sonar's coverage gate was the only red check on this branch, at 47.9% on new code against an 80% threshold. The gap was almost entirely the Aug-27 work: CallStats had no test class at all, and the Call and RtcSession bridges the profile switch travels through were never exercised. Adds CallStatsTest for the audio send/receive rate derived from the RTP byte counters (first sample, replaced stream, stalled clock) and the codec direction; a Publisher group for the bitrate accessors and a rejected setParameters; RtcSessionAudioProfileTest and CallAudioProfileBridgeTest for the bridges, both branches each — the no-session answer is what AudioProfileResult reports as a stage. New-line coverage measured locally with Kover: 88.0%.
…c-processing-controls
develop's injectSession now stubs the session's SFU socket state itself, so calling it
from inside an every { } block leaves MockK recording one stubbing block inside another.
Hoists the injection out in the four bridge tests that did it.
The gate is new_coverage, which blends line and branch coverage. Lines were already at 86.1%, but branches were at 69.1% — 71 uncovered conditions — for a blended 78.3%, so the gate stayed red on a branch problem that a line-only measurement could not see. Adds AudioBitrateTargetTest for targetAudioMaxBitrateBps and buildAudioConstraints (the precedence between the SFU's offer, the constants and the negotiated bitrate, where a wrong answer is silent), AudioProfileResultTest for each stage's veto over complete, and a CallStats group for the 'as?' casts on stats members that quietly become null. RtcSessionAudioProfileTest now runs under Robolectric. It does not need Android: the other tests that touch RtcSession are Robolectric tests, and mixing loaders makes JaCoCo discard this class's execution data as a bytecode mismatch, so the coverage vanished in a full-suite run while every test still passed. The same trick on PublisherTest neither recovered its coverage nor left the suite green, so it was not applied there. new_coverage 78.3% -> 86.1% measured locally with Kover.
…nto feature/runtime-mic-processing-controls
The switch derived the noise-cancellation processor from the profile alone — voice meant on. Three of the four stages can be derived like that safely, because 2572ae6 took away their individual setters, so the profile default is the only value they ever hold. The processor is different: Call.setAudioProcessingEnabled is public and shipped, and the demo puts it one tap above Music mode. An app or a user can have turned it off deliberately, and a round trip through music switched it back on for them. Now the value is captured on the way into music and put back on the way out. Nothing remembered means the call never played music, so the stage is left alone rather than forced on — which also stops revertProfileDerivedState turning it on after a half-applied switch. Dropped on cleanup so it cannot cross into the next call. Two existing tests encoded the old behaviour: one asserted the processor goes back on after a refused switch (it does, but only when it was on to begin with), the other checked a refusal on a stage that now has no work to do, rewritten to refuse on the restore path where it matters.
The menu item read 'Audio profile: VOICE (tap for music)' and the toast interpolated the proto enum, so a device came up with 'AUDIO_BITRATE_PROFILE_MUSIC_HIGH_QUALITY at 128k' across two lines. Nobody outside the SDK thinks in audio bitrate profiles. Stays in Debug options — the top-level menu is product surface. The public API keeps setAudioBitrateProfile and the AudioBitrateProfile enum: that is the server's vocabulary and it is already released.
…GetStream/stream-video-android into feature/runtime-mic-processing-controls
The branch added org.junit.Assert.assertTrue to a file that already imported kotlin.test.assertTrue from develop. It compiled because Kotlin prefers the overload without default arguments, so the JUnit one silently won every one-argument call — but two imports of the same name is not something to leave behind. Removes the one the branch added; all five call sites are one-argument and resolve against kotlin.test.

The music-mode work needs the snapshot ADM APIs; without the snapshot repo others cannot build the branch. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Integrations only need to know whether the profile took, not which stage moved, so AudioProfileResult is now internal and the per-stage detail stays in the logs and in the failure message. A switch that did not complete returns a failure naming the stages still on the previous profile. Also trims the comments across the audio profile code.
The goog* constraints are fixed at AudioSource creation, so moving them means a new source and track and an RtpSender.setTrack swap — the one stage the revert cannot undo without a second swap and another audio gap. It now runs last and is skipped when an earlier stage refused, so a failed switch cannot strand it. The bitrate moves before it and has a live setter, so the revert puts that one back.
