How can I mute my microphone when using react-native-webrtc, I tried this:

```
const tracks = idx(pc._localStreams, _ => _[0]._tracks) || []
const track = tracks.find(elem => elem.kind === 'audio')
if (!track) {
  return
}
track.muted = !localMic
```

Hi, try this

> const stream = await mediaDevices.getUserMedia({  
> audio: true,  
> video: false  
> })  
> .catch(error =\> {  
> console.log('error: ', error)  
> });  
> stream.getTracks()[0].enabled = !muted;`

```
localStream.getTracks().forEach((t) => {
    if (t.kind === 'audio') t.enabled = !t.enabled;
});

```
