async toggleAudio(isOn: boolean) {  
if (!this.mediaStream$) return;

```
this.isMicOn = isOn;

if (isOn) {
  if (!this.audioStarted) {
    await this.mediaStream$.startAudio({ originalSound: true });

    this.audioStarted = false;
  } else {
    await this.mediaStream$.unmuteAudio(
      this.videoClient$.getCurrentUserInfo().userId
    );
  }

  return;

I was also facing the same issue. I have to show cloth to a sister but voice was doing issues. I have fixed by seeing Youtube videos [https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0779/2073/1459/files/Boyshort\_Panties.jpg?v=1714551129](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0779/2073/1459/files/Boyshort_Panties.jpg?v=1714551129)
