Research direction

Start with apps/common-app/src/examples/Record/Record.tsx and reproduce simultaneous recording and playback on iOS. Then trace the recording and playback configuration exposed by react-native-audio-api to determine whether echo cancellation is available or requires a new API. Done means recording no longer captures speaker playback during concurrent use.

Description

Feature Request

It's possible to record audio and play it back afterward using the Record example. However, when I tested simultaneous recording and playback, the recorder always picked up the output from the speaker (tested on iOS). Is there a way to set up proper echo cancellation?
