Continues Speech Recognition beep sound after Google Search update
android, auto-update, voice, voice-recognition
Solution
In the update they switched the output of the 'beep' to the media stream.
So you'll need to mute the AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC
There's an enhancement request about it here
Problem
I have an app that keeps on listening to voice and converting it to commands using Google Voice API. I have been using `setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true)` to mute the beep and it worked until a couple of days ago before "Google Search" new update. Is there any workaround fix for it? I know I can use `setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT)`, but maybe there is another method?
