[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Audio doesn’t seem to stream over Element regardless of operating system, I’m on Debian 12 and my buddies are on Windows, neither stream audio. Also Mobile devices lack streaming out-right. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ekky@sopuli.xyz 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) That's weird. I just tested it with a friend (I'm on Endeavour, she's on Win11, the server is VPS with Debian running the newest Synapse and Element-web). Audio works fine both ways with no mic config required, streaming is a little laggy when viewing the screen and stream next to each other, but that's all. EDIT: No, you're right. Audio within streams seem to fail. I remember Discord having the same problem (hence why I use Vesktop), but if Windows also suffers this shortcoming? I'm pretty sure I remember it working a month ago, so there should be a bug report in Synapse (or element). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) This has been an issue for over 4 years. not sure why it seems to be neglected by the maintainers/contributors. Edit: Maybe it was patched? I don’t have the time at the moment to dive deep into this topic, will try to get back to this later today.
