How to change the voice capture device in the context of VOIP usage

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how I could realize what I had planned and figured out the following:

When the world is launched, VoiceEngine is created, which in turn triggers a function in VoiceModule that creates VoiceCapture (each platform has its own implementation).

Is it possible to get a reference to VoiceCapture from outside? I looked in the sources and found a function in VoiceCapture to change the device of audio capture

virtual bool ChangeDevice(const FString& DeviceName, int32 SampleRate, int32 NumChannels) = 0;

And this is literally what I need.

I just realized that neither FVoiceModule nor IOnlineVoicePtr provide access to VoiceCapture.

This situation is driving me a bit crazy, as I couldn’t find almost anything on this issue in the intrinet. I apologize for my English

welcome to the forums.

i’m not sure. but seems difficult task.
i would reconsider if there’s no other way. or keep looking at the source.

FVoiceEngineImpl seems to have a ref to it. each platform implemetns its own version.
the ref seems to be private (the default one).
it has a GetVoiceCapture but it’s protected (why, beats me).
virtual TSharedPtr<IVoiceCapture>& GetVoiceCapture() { return VoiceCapture; }

some alternatives each with its own problems:

  • move that line for the function declaration to public and be done. if you can modify the engine code.
  • implement a child class of the platform you need and then add a function. (for example a child of FVoiceEngineSteam (this probably you’ll have to copy since its not exposed) and FOnlineVoiceSteam. (this is a mess of an option).
  • find an alternative.
