Hi everyone,

I’ve got an Android device running Android 10.

I’m new to WebRTC so I’m not sure if there’s something I’m misunderstanding. When I do a simple peer-to-peer call with another device, turning the volume up or down is not respected at all. I’ve turned down every audio source on my phone (call, ring, media, alarm) and I can still hear the other person. Does WebRTC not respect system audio settings? I didn’t even know it was possible for an app to ignore system audio settings until I found this.

Fixed! I was on React Native 0.61.5, and tried setting the compile target to Android 10. This seems to be reason it’s breaking - putting it back to Android 9 again fixed this issue.
