**Description:**  
I am currently using the Zoom SDK to receive raw audio data for my application, where I need to play the audio using my own player. The raw audio data is being successfully received in the `onMixedAudioRawDataReceived` callback. However, I want to prevent the SDK from playing the audio locally while still continuing to receive the raw data. I’ve tried using the `stopIncomingAudio` function, but this stops both local playback and the receipt of raw data in the `onMixedAudioRawDataReceived` callback. I’m looking for a method or function that allows me to stop local audio playback but continue receiving the raw audio data.

**Which Android Meeting SDK version?**  
Latest version.

* * *

**To Reproduce (If applicable):**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Implement Zoom SDK in the Android app.
2. Set up `onMixedAudioRawDataReceived` to receive raw audio data.
3. Attempt to stop local audio playback while keeping raw audio data coming in.
4. Notice that stopping incoming audio also stops receiving raw data.

**Screenshots:**

**Troubleshooting Routes:**

- Successfully receiving raw audio data using the `onMixedAudioRawDataReceived` callback.
- Attempted using the `stopIncomingAudio` method, which stops local playback and also halts raw data reception in the callback.
- Reviewed Zoom’s documentation and sample app at [Zoom’s GitHub repository], but couldn’t find an applicable solution.
- Same thing was also asked here at form [zoom devforum]

**Smartphone (please complete the following information):**

- **Device** : Multiple Android devices, including Pixel 5.
- **OS** : Android 11 and higher.

* * *

**Additional Context:**  
I need a way to continue receiving raw audio data from the Zoom SDK without local audio playback, as the audio will be handled by my custom player.
