To prevent the microphone from detecting sound at all, pass a value of 100 for
Microphone.onActivity
To determine the amount of sound the microphone is currently detecting, use
Microphone.activityLevel
Activity detection is the ability to detect when audio levels suggest that a person is talking.
When someone is not talking, bandwidth can be saved because there is no need to send the
associated audio stream. This information can also be used for visual feedback so that users
know they (or others) are silent.
Silence values correspond directly to activity values. Complete silence is an activity value of 0.
Constant loud noise (as loud as can be registered based on the current gain setting) is an
activity value of 100. After gain is appropriately adjusted, your activity value is less than your
silence value when you're not talking; when you are talking, the activity value exceeds your
silence value.
This method is similar in purpose to
