Research direction

Start by comparing the referenced client-sdk-flutter commit with the dart-webrtc commit mentioned in the issue, then trace how AudioCaptureOptions handles an external headset deviceId. Reproduce by connecting a headset, passing its deviceId to AudioCaptureOptions, and starting a call; done means noise cancellation remains active.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Describe the bug

When using an external headset, noise cancellation is deactivated.

I did some digging. Is it possible that https://github.com/livekit/client-sdk-flutter/commit/a8ba441800a405ec97cd9aadf767b41e8831d0f7 can be reverted now that https://github.com/flutter-webrtc/dart-webrtc/commit/dc362d57964519efe11a3f27e920d76461ceb819 has landed in dart-webrtc?

To Reproduce

Connect an external headset, get its deviceId, add it to AudioCaptureOptions, start a call

Expected behavior

Noise cancellation works
