Logitech c920pro webcam microphone on Xiaomi Mibox S Android TV

Logitech c920pro webcam microphone doesn't work on Xiaomi Mibox S Android TV (latest Android 9) Trueconf app handle Logitech c920pro microphone correctly so I assume we can make it work on mibox s.

Let me know how can I help.

While working with the Logitech C922, I found that I needed to check the webcam with the utility guvcview. Apparently, this initializes the camera and/or the local drivers so that it works properly in jami.

Hope, that helps, ---<)kaimartin(>---

@KaiMartin looks like guvcview isn't available on Android

Ouups. I totally missed the android context. Never heard of the Mibox, either. This looks like an like an interesting gadget. Apparently, the wizards at XDA even managed to successfully run linux on it. :-)

As of 06.11.2020 official Google Duos app for Android TV works well, so it is Jamie's bug, not Android TV

@branches78 funny part is that Trueconf work with MiBox S. There is 2 mic available BuiltIn (not working) an USB camera. Btw Trueconf works on Android 8 too, and after update to Android 9 I do hard reset to make it work again.

The problem with reporting to google is that Xiaomi can never push actual update. I think the problem need to be resolved need to be done per device basis. Mi Box S pretty popular solution and Jami will definitely will benefit from it

I have some Android background, so I can try to research tne problem. Can you please guide me what code is involved in mic choosing process or maybe there is simple code snippet that will list all available mics?

@branches78 I have MiBox S, it is not the same as orginal MiBox (3) as far as I know.

To start love Jami I need make it work on with MiBox S. Trueconf uses OpenSL ES as audio backend.

Could you (on anyone) point me to Jami code that is responsible for mic choosing

I installed fresh Google Duos for Android TV from Google Play Store, and it works well - audio is available. So definitely it is bugi jaki Android TV app.

Well, if there is Android TV support declared and there is something left to implement then it is the bug. Btw, can you please share more details with me about this thing that need to be implemented? I can implement it once I understand what is wrong. Thanks in advance.

I wonder if anyone from Jami team reads bug reports, Jami Android dev, please blink twice if you read this.

@bademux Hi, thanks for the report,

Yes, we're trying to get microphones to work as good as possible on Android TV.

Android TV has multiple audio-related issues that need more investigation & work.
