1958512 - On Windows, on a Meet call, the only available audio output is the default audio device

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: WebRTC: Audio/Video, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Attachment: firefox_output_audio.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:137.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/137.0

Steps to reproduce:

• on Windows 10 22H2, have two audio devices (speaker and headset for example)
• go to https://meet.google.com
• click on new meeting/start an instant meeting
• if asked, grant all permissions to use the camera and whatever else
• click on the microphone icon in the lower center/left to choose where the audio will be output (yes, the icon should be a speaker and not a microphone...)
• the only available option is System Default Speaker, regardless of how many there are plugged in your machine. On Chrome, we can see a big list.

Actual results:

• the only available option is System Default Speaker, regardless of how many there are plugged in your machine. On Chrome, we can see a big list.

Expected results:

I should see a list of multiple speakers, just like in Chrome

Screenshot is attached.
Do not worry about the fact that firefox is in incognito mode nor that it can't find a microphone. I did this screenshot while in a call in another windows. But the bug is always there no matter how many calls and reproducible 100% of the time.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::WebRTC: Audio/Video' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Meet does not currently support speaker selection in Firefox. We suspect the reason to be bug 1868750.

Parent bug work should help address this. Once we have that we'll ping the Meet team about it.
