Detailed Description

This section explains how to record and playback audio in the client instance.

Before being able to initialize the sound devices to use for recording and playback the computer's available sound devices must first be queried. This is done using the function TT_GetSoundDevices() which returns an array of SoundDevice-structs containing a description of the sound device. In the SoundDevice-struct there's a member variable called nDeviceID. This ID should be passed to the client instance's two sound initialization functions TT_InitSoundInputDevice and TT_InitSoundOutputDevice. Once this has been done the TT_GetFlags call will return a value containing the mask bits CLIENT_SNDINPUT_READY and CLIENT_SNDOUTPUT_READY.

A computer's default sound devices can be queried using TT_GetDefaultSoundDevices. A loop-back test of the selected sound devices can be performed using TT_StartSoundLoopbackTest.

Be aware that the sound devices might fail if e.g. a USB sound device is unplugged while the client is talking in a channel. In this case ensure the application is processing the errors INTERR_SNDINPUT_FAILURE and INTERR_SNDOUTPUT_FAILURE in the CLIENTEVENT_INTERNAL_ERROR event.

Read section Audio and Video Transmission to see how to transmit recorded audio to other users.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ TT_SAMPLERATES_MAX

#define TT_SAMPLERATES_MAX 16

The maximum number of sample rates supported by a SoundDevice.

Definition at line 155 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_SHARED_FLAG

#define TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_SHARED_FLAG 0x00000800

Flag/bit in nDeviceID telling if the SoundDevice is a shared version of an existing sound device.

On Android the recording device can only be used by one TeamTalk instance. As a workaround for this issue a shared recording device has been introduced. Internally TeamTalk initializes TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_OPENSLES_DEFAULT which then resample and distribute the audio data to multiple TeamTalk instances.

The shared audio device on Android will show up as (TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_OPENSLES_DEFAULT | TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_SHARED_FLAG), i.e. 2048.

Definition at line 534 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_MASK

#define TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_MASK 0x000007FF

Extract sound device ID of nDeviceID in SoundDevice by and'ing this value.

let PhysicalDeviceID = (SoundDevice.nDeviceID & TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_MASK).

Definition at line 540 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_REMOTEIO

#define TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_REMOTEIO 0

Definition at line 544 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_VOICEPREPROCESSINGIO

#define TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_VOICEPREPROCESSINGIO (1 | TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_SHARED_FLAG)

Sound device ID for iOS AudioUnit subtype Voice-Processing I/O Unit.

This sound device ID include the flag TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_SHARED_FLAG since multiple streams cannot be recorded/played on the device.

See also: SOUNDSYSTEM_AUDIOUNIT

Definition at line 552 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_OPENSLES_DEFAULT

#define TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_OPENSLES_DEFAULT 0

Sound device ID for Android OpenSL ES default audio device.

See also: SOUNDSYSTEM_OPENSLES_ANDROID

Definition at line 556 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_OPENSLES_VOICECOM

#define TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_OPENSLES_VOICECOM 1

Sound device ID for Android OpenSL ES voice communication mode. This device uses the OpenSL ES' AndroidConfiguration SL_ANDROID_RECORDING_PRESET_VOICE_COMMUNICATION.

See also: SOUNDSYSTEM_OPENSLES_ANDROID

Definition at line 562 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_TEAMTALK_VIRTUAL

#define TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_TEAMTALK_VIRTUAL 1978

Sound device ID for virtual TeamTalk sound device.

This is a sound device which decodes received audio packets but does not send the decoded audio to a real sound device. When used for recording the virtual sound device injects silence.

In duplex mode the virtual TeamTalk sound device can only be used as input/output device.

See also: SOUNDSYSTEM_NONE

Definition at line 572 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_LOCAL_USERID

#define TT_LOCAL_USERID 0

User ID passed to TT_EnableAudioBlockEvent() in order to receive AudioBlock directly from sound input device after joining a channel.

When this user ID is passed then the AudioBlock received will be prior to audio preprocessing (AudioPreprocessor).

Note, however, that CLIENTEVENT_USER_AUDIOBLOCK will not be triggered until the TTInstance is in a channel. This is because the sound input device is not started until it knows the AudioCodec's sample rate, number of channels and transmit interval.

Definition at line 709 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_LOCAL_TX_USERID

#define TT_LOCAL_TX_USERID 0x1002

User ID passed to TT_EnableAudioBlockEvent() in order to receive AudioBlock when voice transmission is activated.

Either through TT_EnableVoiceActivation() or TT_EnableVoiceTransmission().

Definition at line 718 of file TeamTalk.h.

◆ TT_MUXED_USERID

#define TT_MUXED_USERID 0x1001 /* TT_USERID_MAX + 2 */

User ID used to identify muxed audio that has been mixed into a single stream.

This user ID is passed to TT_EnableAudioBlockEvent() in order to receive AudioBlock of audio that is played by the TTInstance.

SOUNDSYSTEM_WINMM	Windows legacy audio system. Should be used on Windows Mobile.
SOUNDSYSTEM_DSOUND	DirectSound audio system. Should be used on Windows.
SOUNDSYSTEM_ALSA	Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA). Should be used on Linux. Often ALSA sound devices only support a limited number of sample rates so TeamTalk internally use software filters to resample the audio to the sample rate used by the selected audio codecs.
SOUNDSYSTEM_COREAUDIO	Core Audio. Should be used on MacOS.
SOUNDSYSTEM_WASAPI	Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI). Should be used on Windows Vista/7/8/10. WASAPI audio devices typically only support a single sample rate so internally TeamTalk uses software filters to resample audio to the sample rate used by the selected audio codecs. Check `supportedSampleRates` and `nDefaultSampleRate` of SoundDevice to see which sample rates are supported.
SOUNDSYSTEM_OPENSLES_ANDROID	Android sound API. The OpenSL ES sound API requires Android 4.1 or later. Duplex mode is not supported by OpenSL ES @see TT_InitSoundDuplexDevices()

◆ TT_RestartSoundSystem()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TT_RestartSoundSystem ( void )

Reinitialize sound system (in order to detect new/removed devices).

When the TeamTalk client is first initialized all the sound devices are detected and stored in a list inside the client instance. If a user adds or removes e.g. a USB sound device then it's not picked up automatically by the client instance. TT_RestartSoundSystem() can be used to reinitialize the sound system and thereby detect if sound devices have been removed or added.

In order to restart the sound system all sound devices in all client instances must be closed using TT_CloseSoundInputDevice(), TT_CloseSoundoutputDevice() and TT_CloseSoundDuplexDevices().

◆ TT_StartSoundLoopbackTest()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTSoundLoop* TT_StartSoundLoopbackTest	(	IN INT32	nInputDeviceID,
		IN INT32	nOutputDeviceID,
		IN INT32	nSampleRate,
		IN INT32	nChannels,
		IN TTBOOL	bDuplexMode,
		IN const SpeexDSP *	lpSpeexDSP
	)

nOutputDeviceID	Should be the nDeviceID extracted through TT_GetSoundDevices().
nSampleRate	The sample rate the client's recorder should use.
nChannels	Number of channels to use, i.e. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo.
bDuplexMode	Both input and output devices MUST support the specified sample rate since this loop back test uses duplex mode (

See also: TT_InitSoundDuplexDevices() ). Check out supportedSampleRates of SoundDevice to see which sample rates are supported. The SoundDevice must have the feature SOUNDDEVICEFEATURE_DUPLEXMODE.

Parameters

lpAudioPreprocessor	The preprocessing settings to use, i.e. AGC and denoising properties. Pass NULL to ignore AGC, denoise and AEC.
lpSoundDeviceEffects	The sound device effects which should be applied before the loopback test is started.

Returns: Returns NULL in case of error, otherwise sound loop instance which can be closed by TT_CloseSoundLoopbackTest();

		IN INT32	nChannels,
		IN INT32	nFrameSize
	)

Setup sample rate, channels and frame size of shared sound output device.

By default a shared sound device (checkout TT_SOUNDDEVICE_ID_SHARED_FLAG) initialized by TT_InitSoundOutputDevice will use the sound device's nDefaultSampleRate, nMaxOutputChannels of SoundDevice and a frame size (callback buffer) of nDefaultSampleRate * 0.04.

◆ TT_InitSoundDuplexDevices()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TT_InitSoundDuplexDevices	(	IN TTInstance *	lpTTInstance,
		IN INT32	nInputDeviceID,
		IN INT32	nOutputDeviceID
	)

Enable duplex mode where multiple audio streams are mixed into a single stream using software.

To use duplex mode the feature SOUNDDEVICEFEATURE_DUPLEXMODE must be available on the SoundDevice.

If TT_InitSoundDuplexDevices() is successful the following flags will be set:

Call TT_CloseSoundDuplexDevices() to shut down duplex mode.

Note that it is only the audio streams from users in the local client instance's current channel which will be mixed. If the local client instance calls TT_DoSubscribe() with SUBSCRIBE_INTERCEPT_VOICE on a user in another channel then the audio from this user will be started in a separate stream. The reason for this is that the other user may use an audio codec with a different sample rate or number of audio channels.

Parameters

lpTTInstance	Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.
nInputDeviceID	The nDeviceID of SoundDevice extracted through TT_GetSoundDevices().
nOutputDeviceID	The nDeviceID of SoundDevice extracted through TT_GetSoundDevices().

See also: TT_InitSoundInputDevice(); TT_InitSoundOutputDevice(); TT_CloseSoundDuplexDevices()

◆ TT_CloseSoundInputDevice()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TT_CloseSoundInputDevice ( IN TTInstance * lpTTInstance )

Shutdown the input sound device.

Callling this function will clear the flag CLIENT_SNDINPUT_READY.

If the local client instance is running in duplex mode (flag CLIENT_SNDINOUTPUT_DUPLEX is set) then trying to close the sound device will fail since duplex mode require that both input and output sound devices are active at the same time. Therefore in order to close sound devices running in duplex mode call TT_CloseSoundDuplexDevices().

Parameters

lpTTInstance Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.

Returns: If running in sound duplex mode (CLIENT_SNDINOUTPUT_DUPLEX) then ensure to disable duplex mode prior to closing the sound device.

See also: TT_InitSoundInputDevice

◆ TT_CloseSoundOutputDevice()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TT_CloseSoundOutputDevice ( IN TTInstance * lpTTInstance )

Shutdown the output sound device.

Callling this function will clear set the flag CLIENT_SNDOUTPUT_READY.

If the local client instance is running in duplex mode (flag CLIENT_SNDINOUTPUT_DUPLEX is set) then trying to close the sound device will fail since duplex mode require that both input and output sound devices are active at the same time. Therefore in order to close sound devices running in duplex mode call TT_CloseSoundDuplexDevices().

Parameters

lpTTInstance Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.

Returns: If running in sound duplex mode (CLIENT_SNDINOUTPUT_DUPLEX) then ensure to disable duplex mode prior to closing the sound device.

See also: TT_InitSoundOutputDevice

◆ TT_CloseSoundDuplexDevices()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TT_CloseSoundDuplexDevices ( IN TTInstance * lpTTInstance )

◆ TT_SetSoundDeviceEffects()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TT_SetSoundDeviceEffects	(	IN TTInstance *	lpTTInstance,
		IN const SoundDeviceEffects *	lpSoundDeviceEffect
	)

Set up audio effects on a sound device.

Some devices, like Android, enable the user to toggle certain audio effects on their device to improve audio quality. The SoundDeviceEffects-struct can be used to toggle these audio effects on the device.

The following sound systems support TT_SetSoundDeviceEffects():

SOUNDSYSTEM_OPENSLES_ANDROID
- Modifying SoundDeviceEffects on Android will apply to all active TTInstance, i.e. SoundDeviceEffects are applied globally.
SOUNDSYSTEM_WASAPI
- TT_SetSoundDeviceEffects() must be called prior to TT_InitSoundDuplexDevices(). Sound device effects cannot be used with TT_InitSoundInputDevice() and TT_InitSoundOutputDevice() since Windows needs to know both input and output device upon initialization.

This setting should not be confused with TT_SetSoundInputPreprocessEx() which runs entirely in software and is specific to the TTInstance.

Investigate SoundDeviceFeature to see what audio effects are supported by the available SoundDevice.

Note that the sound effects may not be immediately applied since an sound device is not active until the TTInstance joins a channel where the sound device knowns the sample rate and number of channels (mono/stereo). INTERR_SNDEFFECT_FAILURE will be posted if the SoundDeviceEffects was unable to initialize.

◆ TT_GetSoundInputLevel()

TEAMTALKDLL_API INT32 TT_GetSoundInputLevel ( IN TTInstance * lpTTInstance )

Get the volume level of the current recorded audio.

The current level is updated at an interval specified in a channel's AudioCodec.

Note that the volume level will not be available until the client instance joins a channel, i.e. it knows what sample rate to use.

If WebRTCAudioPreprocessor is active with levelestimation enabled then the current input level is based on WebRTC's level estimater.

Parameters

lpTTInstance Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.

Returns: Returns a value between SOUND_VU_MIN and SOUND_VU_MAX.

◆ TT_SetSoundInputGainLevel()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TT_SetSoundInputGainLevel	(	IN TTInstance *	lpTTInstance,

The gain level ranges from SOUND_GAIN_MIN to SOUND_GAIN_MAX where SOUND_GAIN_DEFAULT is no gain. So 100 is 1/10 of the original volume and 8000 is 8 times the original volume.

Note that using TT_SetSoundInputPreprocess() will override settings on input gain level. This is because automatic gain control will adjust the volume level.

Deprecated:: Use TT_SetSoundInputPreprocessEx() and TEAMTALK_AUDIOPREPROCESSOR.

Parameters

lpTTInstance	Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.
nLevel	A value from SOUND_GAIN_MIN to SOUND_GAIN_MAX.

- Decoded PCM16 from all specified audio streams (StreamTypes) mixed into a single stream.

Parameters

lpTTInstance	Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.
nUserID	User ID has different meanings depending on the StreamType being passed.

For STREAMTYPE_VOICE:

Pass user ID to receive audio from voice stream.
Pass special user ID TT_LOCAL_USERID for audio callback from local recorded audio prior to encoding/processing.
Pass special user ID TT_MUXED_USERID to receive audio where voice stream has been mixed into the single stream. For STREAMTYPE_MEDIAFILE_AUDIO:
Pass user ID to receive audio from media stream.
Pass TT_LOCAL_USERID to receive audio from media file being streamed (transmitted).
See also
TT_StartStreamingMediaFileToChannel().
Pass special user ID TT_MUXED_USERID to receive audio where media stream has been mixed into the single stream. For STREAMTYPE_LOCALMEDIAPLAYBACK_AUDIO:
Pass session ID returned by TT_InitLocalPlayback() to receive audio stream from local playback.
Pass TT_LOCAL_USERID to receive audio stream from all local playbacks.
Pass special user ID TT_MUXED_USERID to receive audio where local playback stream has been mixed into the single stream.

When using TT_MUXED_USERID as user ID the TTInstance must be in a channel with a configured AudioCodec. Alternatively use lpAudioFormat to specify the audio properties.

Parameters

uStreamTypes	Either STREAMTYPE_VOICE, STREAMTYPE_MEDIAFILE_AUDIO or STREAMTYPE_LOCALMEDIAPLAYBACK_AUDIO. For TT_MUXED_USERID it's possible to mix StreamTypes so e.g. STREAMTYPE_LOCALMEDIAPLAYBACK_AUDIO or'ed with STREAMTYPE_VOICE) will return an AudioBlock where these two stream types have been mixed together.
lpAudioFormat	Resample audio format from user to this AudioFormat. Currently only AFF_WAVE_FORMAT is supported. Specify NULL to get original audio format.

When using TT_MUXED_USERID as user ID in combination with lpAudioFormat will cause AudioBlock to contain 20 msec of audio. If lpAudioFormat is NULL then the TTInstance will use the audio format that is configured in the channel's AudioCodec.

Parameters

bEnable Whether to enable the CLIENTEVENT_USER_AUDIOBLOCK event.

		IN INT32	nUserID,
		IN StreamType	nStreamType,
		IN INT32	nDelayMSec
	)

Set the delay of when a user should no longer be considered as playing audio (either voice or audio from media file).

When a user starts talking the CLIENTEVENT_USER_STATECHANGE is triggered with uUserState changing. A user will remain in this active state until no packets are received from this user, plus a delay (due to network interruptions). This delay is by default set to 500 msec but can be changed by calling TT_SetUserStoppedTalkingDelay().

Parameters

		IN INT32	nUserID,
		IN StreamType	nStreamType,
		IN const JitterConfig *	lpJitterConfig
	)

Set the configuration for de-jitter measures for a user.

TeamTalk can add a fixed delay at the start of the playout of a user stream. This delay acts as a buffer to smooth out jittering (non-constant delays) in the reception of network packets. The fixed delay is applied at the start of every new stream, such as a new PTT session. The default fixed delay is zero.

TeamTalk can also apply adaptive jitter buffering where the actual jitter is measured and the delay at the start of a stream is adapted based on those measurements. The adaptive delay will not go below the fixed delay. The parameter nMaxAdaptiveDelayMSec maximizes the total adaptive delay. By default, the adaptive mechanism is OFF

By default, all jitter control is OFF

The result of jitter buffering is that playout frames will get buffered in the playout buffer. Make sure to also size the playout buffer for the expected jitter via TT_SetUserAudioStreamBufferSize

Parameters

lpTTInstance	Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.
nUserID	The user ID of the user to apply the configuration to.
nStreamType	The type of stream to change, currently only STREAMTYPE_VOICE is supported. Other types are a no-op.

		IN INT32	nUserID,
		IN const TTCHAR *	szFolderPath,
		IN const TTCHAR *	szFileNameVars,
		IN AudioFileFormat	uAFF
	)

Store user's audio to disk.

Set the path of where to store audio from a user to disk. Event CLIENTEVENT_USER_RECORD_MEDIAFILE is triggered when recording starts/stops.

To stop recording set szFolderPath to an empty string and uAFF to AFF_NONE.

To store audio of users not in current channel of the client instance check out the section Spying on Users.

Parameters

lpTTInstance	Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.
nUserID	The ID of the User which should store audio to disk. Pass 0 to store local instance's media stream.
szFolderPath	The path on disk to where files should be stored. This value will be stored in szMediaStorageDir of User.
szFileNameVars	The file name used for audio files can consist of the following variables: %nickname%, %username%, %userid%, %counter%, %starttick% and a specified time based on `strftime` (google `'strftime'` for a description of the format. The default format used by TeamTalk is: '%Y%m%d-%H%M%S #%userid% %username%'. The %counter% variable is a 9 digit integer which is incremented for each audio file. The file extension is automatically appended based on the file type (.wav for AFF_WAVE_FORMAT and .mp3 for AFF_MP3_*_FORMAT). Pass NULL or empty string to revert to default format.

		IN const TTCHAR *	szFileNameVars,
		IN AudioFileFormat	uAFF,
		IN INT32	nStopRecordingExtraDelayMSec
	)

Store user's audio to disk.

This extension has an extra parameter for an aditional delay that will be waited before closing the per-user recording. This allows the recording to still capture all voice of a stream in a single file even if there's heavy network jitter. A recording will always be started if a different stream is received for the user. The delay is added on top of the standard playout delay that can be set via

Note that the delay starts after the last packet was written to the playout and thus the delay is already 'counting' when the jitter-buffered playout is still playing

Only supported for STREAMTYPE_VOICE.

Parameters

lpTTInstance	Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.
nUserID	See description in TT_SetUserMediaStorageDir()
szFolderPath	See description in TT_SetUserMediaStorageDir()

		IN INT32	nUserID,
		IN StreamTypes	uStreamType,
		IN INT32	nMSec
	)

Change the amount of media data which can be buffered in the user's playback queue.

Increasing the media buffer size is especially important when the user is currently streaming a media file using TT_StartStreamingMediaFileToChannel(). Once streaming has finished it is recommended to reset the media buffer, i.e. setting it to zero.

A simple way to notify users that the client instance is streaming a media file is to change the status of the local client instance using TT_DoChangeStatus() or to send a TextMessage using TT_DoTextMessage().

Parameters

lpTTInstance	Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.
nUserID	The ID of the user who should have changed the size of the media buffer.
uStreamType	The stream type to apply the buffer for, i.e. either STREAMTYPE_VOICE or STREAMTYPE_MEDIAFILE_AUDIO.
nMSec	The number of miliseconds of audio and video which should be allowed to be stored in the media buffer. 2000 - 3000 msec is a good size for a media buffer. Set the media buffer size to 0 msec to reset the media buffer to its default value.

◆ TT_AcquireUserAudioBlock()

TEAMTALKDLL_API AudioBlock* TT_AcquireUserAudioBlock	(	IN TTInstance *	lpTTInstance,
		IN StreamTypes	uStreamTypes,
		IN INT32	nUserID
	)

Extract the raw audio associated with the event CLIENTEVENT_USER_AUDIOBLOCK.

To enable access to raw audio first call TT_EnableAudioBlockEvent(). Whenever new audio becomes available the event CLIENTEVENT_USER_AUDIOBLOCK is generated and TT_AcquireUserAudioBlock() can be called to extract the audio.

The AudioBlock contains shared memory with the local client instance therefore always remember to call TT_ReleaseUserAudioBlock() to release the shared memory.

Parameters

lpTTInstance	Pointer to client instance created by TT_InitTeamTalk.
uStreamTypes	The stream type to extract, either STREAMTYPE_VOICE STREAMTYPE_MEDIAFILE_AUDIO, STREAMTYPE_LOCALMEDIAPLAYBACK_AUDIO.
nUserID	The ID of the user to retrieve the AudioBlock from. Basically TTMessage's `nSource` from CLIENTEVENT_USER_AUDIOBLOCK.

◆ TT_ReleaseUserAudioBlock()

TEAMTALKDLL_API TTBOOL TT_ReleaseUserAudioBlock	(	IN TTInstance *	lpTTInstance,
		IN AudioBlock *	lpAudioBlock
	)

Release the shared memory of an AudioBlock.

All AudioBlock-structures extracted through TT_AcquireUserAudioBlock() must be released again since they share memory with the local client instance.

Never access lpAudioBlock after releasing its AudioBlock. This will cause the application to crash with a memory exception.
