The coreaudiod issue might have to do with apps that use the mic "priming" it by keeping it active even when there's no call. Some chat apps do this to avoid the 1-2s delay associated with turning on the mic, so audio starts streaming as soon as the call starts.
- Kwpolska 5y agoKeeping the mic active when you’re in a call but have the mic muted is acceptable and understandable. At any other time, it would make me think the app is recording everything and shipping the recordings to the friendly neighborhood TLA agent. Joining a call on Zoom/Teams/whatever already takes a few seconds, so there’s no excuse for this “optimization”.
- kitsunesoba 5y agoI totally agree, but nevertheless this is a behavior I’ve seen in several audio/video call apps.
