I'm using only data sending functionality of PlayFab party, no voice functionality needed. But I'm having an error on iOS device while connecting to PlayFab party network. Everything works just fine with Android and Windows devices.
It seems that Party in iOS is trying to access microphone, which gives out an error:
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription key missing
Is there a way to disable PlayFab Party Voice features through C#(or any other way)?
Yes, PlayFab Party allows you to set the audio input and output device that will be used by your chat control. You could set the device with the PartyAudioDeviceSelectionType::None to disable the chat using any audio device. Please refer to: Audio Inputs and Outputs for more detail.
Is it possible to use it with C# SDK version? I can't seem to find C# method for it.
Also, it is said in documentation that it is set to none by default, but it seems that's not the case with Unity C# PlayFab Party SDK as I get an error message for Mic usage request in iPhone?
Hi @mr-tm, If you are checking Party C# SDK's PlayFabPlayer class, there is a property called "IsMuted", you can easily mute players with it. It actually called the internal method which use the api Rick mentioned.
It seems the C# SDK is using "SystemDefault", not the "None" option by default (private void SetUserSettings()).
Thank you for this information. If setting the audio input and output device to None does not work, please let us know.
Hey @Rick Chen! Like the user @donnotron has mentioned, is there any way we can get this as some sort of settable configuration option? Otherwise, we are unable to update the SDK without remembering to change this.
It would be really nice if this were configurable from outside of the sdk. To get this to work on my end for a game that only needs text/data and no voice, I have to edit the sdk otherwise the game will crash on iOS because it doesn't have microphone permissions. The problem is that I have to somehow remember to edit the sdk again everytime I upgrade it.
