Support for more auido configuration options

[szszoke]

Hello!

I am trying to set up a Jitsi instance on my server that would primarily be used for music lessons. I would therefore like to disable any processing that is done to the audio.

I found this website, which recommends a few configuration options: https://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~rtnvrmp/JitsiStereo.html

I want to make those settings permanent on my server.

Here are all the settings that I need:

config.disableAP=true
config.disableAEC=true
config.disableNS=true
config.disableAGC=true
config.disableHPF=true
config.stereo=true
config.enableLipSync=false
config.p2p.enabled=false
config.prejoinPageEnabled=false

The following settings do not have an environment variable assigned to them:

config.disableAEC=true
config.disableNS=true
config.disableAGC=true
config.disableHPF=true

What would be the easiest way to assign environment variables to these config values?

You can either send a PR to add the missing settings you need, or add them to config-custom.js.

Note that the information you mention is deprecated. You can now set high quality audio in a simpler way: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/a2155aad7fc438a38b3e981118461646e703d1c3/config.js#L173

I was not aware of the deprecation. In that case I'd rather spend my time on adding flags for the simpler way.

What about config.stereo vs config.audioQuality.stereo? Do they refer to the same thing? Is config.stereo also deprecated?

[saghul]

Yep, config.adioQuality.stereo is the new one. The old one still works for backwards compatibility though, but we should only add options for the new ones.

Sorry for the radio silence.

I will try to open a PR next week.

Is there any way to turn on stereo (which disables AEC) and turn AEC back on? We want high quality audio but not everyone will be wearing headphones.

[saghul]

Nope, that's not possible.

Hey,

Bouncing back on this topic, I know this is the docker project but not much mentioning these in other forums...

Failing at setting up stereo and higher bitrate on meet.jitsi.si, is that not deployed, and only useable on self hosted instances ? Trying this for example doesn't seem to work for me: https://meet.jit.si/datRoom#config.p2p.enabled=false&config.disableAP=true&config.disableAEC=true&config.disableNS=true&config.disableAGC=true&config.disableHPF=true&config.audioQuality.stereo=true&config.audioQuality.opusMaxAverageBitrate=320000 Using Firefox/Monterey as firs joiner...

Thanks for any hint !

[lorenzolamasse]

Addtionally, I get a Aw, snap ! using the same room under Chrome...

There is nothing different, to that end, on meet.jit.si.

https://meet.jit.si/datRoom#config.p2p.enabled=false&config.disableAP=true&config.disableAEC=true&config.disableNS=true&config.disableAGC=true&config.disableHPF=true&config.audioQuality.stereo=true&config.audioQuality.opusMaxAverageBitrate=320000

There is no need to disable p2p nor to disable all individual audio processing options, the stereo setting takes care of that.

That sounds like a Chrome bug, application code should never cause a crash. Are you running the latest version?

[lorenzolamasse]

Latest version of Chrome, but as soon as I activate the webcam, the tab crashes.... M1 Pro 2020

[lorenzolamasse]

Definitely in mono, no matter what I try, when setting up meeting from Monterey, both Arm and Intel, both Firefox and Chrome.
Using Loopback to route sound from within a DAW (Ableton Live), and using the Loopback (which is stereo) as input in Jitsi. Other side is sending this when playing anything from youtube into the loopback

which doen't seem to fit my request as per bandwidth ? It seems that my settings are not taken into account... Anything I could try and report ?

So, where does this config.js go? Is ~/.jitsi-meet-cfg/web/ the correct location for the file? Or is it just designed to copy some configuration options and then paste them into the existing config.js?

I am really overwhelmed by so many places where configuration options are saved, how they are actually activated.

In docker config.js is auto-generated. You can put your content in the custom config file and it will be appended at the end of the generated config.js
