**Description**

Hi,

Is there a way to pause and resume the zoom SDK audio programmatically?

I tried the `ZoomSDK.getInstance().getInMeetingService().getInMeetingAudioController().disconnectAudio();` to disconnect the audio and `ZoomSDK.getInstance().getInMeetingService().getInMeetingAudioController().connectAudioWithVoIP();` to re-connect the audio. Though sometimes, user can still hear the audio after `disconnectAudio()` is called. So I would like to know if there is a better way to pause / resume audio?

Thank you in advance!

Best,  
Gerger

Hi @gerger, thanks for the post.

The methods you’ve posted are the correct way of disconnecting/reconnecting to the audio stream for the meeting. When you can still hear audio after calling `disconnectAudio`, can you please let me know what the return value of that method is?

Thanks!
