To be able to send vocal messages with Axolotl, we need to access the microphone. It looks like even with OTA-13 and the QtWebEngine upgrade, the microphone isn't working. When going to a website like https://framatalk.org/test, the access to the microphone is asked, but even after saying Yes in the UT popup to give permission, the website can't access the microphone.

Tested on a Fairphone 2 Halium 5.1 port, running the last devel build.
Same problem with my Pinephone last devel.

@Flohack74 I heard that with your 6P such feature is working, can you please try the link above and confirm?

On my Xperia X 32 bit devel using morph I have just tested a web based video conference system senfcall.de (an instance of BigBlueButton TM):

  • watching video output from desktop -> works only one way
  • watching a shared screen from dektop -> works only one way
  • listening to speech from desktop and talking on the phone -> working both ways

I was asked if I want to give microphone permissions. Confirmed that. Yeah, works!

Also tried a jitsi.meet conference. Works too.

Just tested on my E5 (devel, Qt5.12 test environment enabled).

Microphone does NOT work. Only listening to callers. So this really seems to be device dependend. Xperia X seems to be on the lucky side. ;-) We need to find out what does make the difference.

I confirm the issue.

Device: Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Lavender
Channel: OTA-16 Stable
Used website: https://online-voice-recorder.com
Browser: Morph Browser
Microphone access: Allowed

Website replied that Microphone access has been denied. (See screenshots)

Remark: App "Music Recognition" does not start recording. luksus42/soundrecog#7

Btw, no problem with Nexus 5 + Vollaphone. Only my Redmi Note 7 is affected by this issue.

Thank you beforehand. Regards, Steve

mir/agent: re-try prompt session with parent
6e5e7ba 
Mir expects a PID of a process that have a Mir session. Meanwhile, the
trust-store users supply us the PID of the requesting process, which
might not be the same process. For example, QtWebEngine uses a helper
process to record the audio. In this case, Mir won't be able to find a
session and fails.

What we do here is that, when we encounter such error from Mir, get the
process's parent pid, and then try again.

Thanks @mariogrip for the idea.

@UniversalSuperBox Ok... So will this issue be reported in OTA-19?

@stanwood77, possibly, if review of any contributions completes and works correctly for your device. I'm not sure if the linked pull request will fix your device exactly, since Ratchanan doesn't have a Redmi Note 7. But you could certainly test it out to help us test it, that will improve the likelihood that it gets merged in OTA-19.

Hm, I just tried and at least with the PinePhone running last devel (692) this isn't fixed. Tried on https://online-voice-recorder.com/
@mariogrip what commit is supposed to solve that issue?

Trust prompt for microphone access in morph browser ( or MorphWebView) does not appear on:

  • BQ e4.5 devel (after factory reset)
  • Fairphone 2 halium-devel (after factory reset)
  • Fairphone 2 devel (after factory reset)
  • Fairphone 3 devel (Halium 10)
  • Lenovo X605 devel (Halium 9)

@luksus42 can you please provide a screenshot of "trust-prompt", because now I'm confused about what we are talking about. As said when I created that issue, I do have a prompt asking to access mic on FP2, but accepting it doesn't grant the permission.

@luksus42

So this is the one of the browser:
browser:prompt

But we also need the one of the system, to get access to the microphone:

Trust prompts are currently broken. Please see ubports/ubuntu-touch#1814.

@Danfro well actually they should not be broken in RC and devel :)

so to conclude:

  • microphone trust prompt works for most apps, e.g. recorder app
  • microphone trust prompt doesn't work for morph

So I reopened this issue and moved it OTA-21... Sorry to say but this does not work at all it seems @peat-psuwit

Well, no wonder why it doesn't work: the build for the merge commit fails. 🤦

So, TODO: kick a retry build after OTA-20 is released.

Oh thx for looking. Doh! Will do

With the rebuild triggered, this issue should be fixed in devel image now.

Note for QA: for Morph Browser, there will be 2 kinds of prompts, showing below:

Morph's own prompt System's prompt
screenshot20211122_222225474 screenshot20211122_222247748

The first prompt will always appear, while the second prompt will appear the first time Morph uses the microphone. It's this second prompt which is broken, not the first one.

On Pinephone, the second prompt has always been not working, and Morph should always be allowed accessing the mic. If that's not the case, please file a separated issue.

So this seems to work now. (FP3, halium 10 devel, 2021-11-21)

I have had on issue though, but I cannot reproduce it:

  • I updated the device with OTA
  • then it worked: the test-recording app which displayed the system prompt, was also able to record something
  • then I did nothing with the device for hours, I got an alarm in between
  • then I started the test-app again, which was not able to record anymore
  • the mic-rights in the systemsettings app-rights where greyed out and showd "0/0" (like camera-rights)
  • after a reboot everything worked again
