[Linphone-users] Headset not available during video calls

[Thomas Strobel]

Hi!

As I'm new to the Linphone mailing list, I first want to say a huge
thanks for providing such an amazing software! It is great to have the
opportunity to do audio and video SIP calls with a completely open
source and well written software from all major platforms. Thanks!

I want to report about an issue when using Linphone on Android tablet
with a headset plugged in. While doing audio only calls the audio output
is routed properly to the headset, and I have the opportunity to switch
between headset and speaker with the 'speaker' button in the Linphone
menu. However, if I activate a video chat, then the audio output is only
routed to the speaker, and the 'speaker' button turns grey. Unplugging
and re-inserting the headset into the tablet while the video chat is
active does not lead to a change either.

Interestingly, when using the same software on an Android mobile phone,
then the audio output can be routed to the headset as expected. So I
don't know whether that is related to the software or to the operating
system.

Could you maybe help me to figure out what the cause of that problem is?


Many thanks

Thomas
