Mute audio on ExoPlayer

Question

I'm using Google new MediaPlayer named ExoPlayer and cannot find a way to mute the sound

Is there an easy way to mute audio track on Google ExoPlayer ? Or changing volume ?

Answer 1

The new way to mute and unmute volume as of version 2.X.X done as follows:

int currentvolume = player.getVolume();

make sure to call the line above after starting the player otherwise you will get a nullpointerexception

to mute volume:

player.setVolume(0f);

to unmute volume:

player.setVolume(currentVolume);

Answer 2

Easily you can do it with ExoPlayer:

Java Code:

float currentVolume = player.getVolume();
if (currentVolume == 0f) {
      player.setVolume(1f);
} else {
      player.setVolume(0f);
}

Kotlin Code:

val curentVol = player?.volume
if (curentVol == 0f) {
     player?.volume = 1f
} else {
     player?.volume = 0f
}

Answer 3

In ExoPlayer 2.x.x:

get the current volume:

int currentVolume = player..getAudioComponent().getVolume();

mute:

player.getAudioComponent().setVolume(0f);

unmute:

player.getAudioComponent().setVolume(currentVolume);

Answer 4

try

player.setSelectedTrack(DemoPlayer.TYPE_AUDIO, DemoPlayer.TRACK_DISABLED);

analogous to this line of code

Answer 5

Just simply use player.setVolume(0) will silent the video.

Answer 6

I will recommend get the current volume first and then mute it. When you will unmute you can give user same volume.

float currentvolume;
currentvolume = player.getVolume();
player.setVolume(0.0f);

Answer 7

Mute ExoPlayer using Kotlin

player.audioComponent?.volume = 0f
