[Config Support]: A single camera has no audio only in livestream

A single camera has no audio only in livestream

I have two Wyze V3 cameras, both loaded with Mini Hacks. They are both set up identically, except for a hostname difference in the config. Of my two cameras, one of them has no audio in the livestream preview, however it does record audio in the reviewable clips/exports. My config for each is also identical. The other camera works perfectly fine with no audio issues.

I'm fairly new to Home Assistant, Frigate, Go2RTC, etc so it's entirely possible I misconfigured something or just don't understand how a certain software works. I'm using Frigate on unRAID as a Docker container with it plumbed into Home Assistant via Frigate Proxy. Please forgive me if I forget to mention any critical details or have any blatantly long misconfiguration, I'm still learning!

Thank you!

Your config looks fine. One possibility is that the live player is just falling back to jsmpeg mode (which does not support audio) due to an initial timeout.

You can confirm by looking at the websocket tab of your browser's devtools network pane when you navigate to the live view.

Okay so while I was waiting for a response I went ahead and updated that server to unRAID 7.0.0. I guess a full host reboot fixed it? I have audio on both cameras now. While troubleshooting last night I restarted the docker container numerous times, but a full host reboot worked. Super weird. Glad it's fixed though! Consider this issue closed!

Great, glad you solved it!
