[camerax] enableAudio has no effect on video recording, can not mute video recording if microphone permission granted #168551
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Clone camerax example app https://github.com/flutter/packages/tree/main/packages/camera/camera_android_camerax
- Enable camera and microphone permission via app settings
- Also observe that
enableAudioin example has no effect, as its value does not get passed toCameraController'sMediaSettings. Default isfalse.
So it always records audio when mic enabled, even though it is set to false. I tested on Android.
Expected results
Should not record audio if enableAudio is set to false
Actual results
Records microphone audio

@camsim99 The original implementation doesn't seem to include PendingRecording.withAudioEnabled: https://github.com/flutter/packages/blob/4a36dc63f7197f5cf4f0d0b9b670492b8848c502/packages/camera/camera_android_camerax/android/src/main/java/io/flutter/plugins/camerax/PendingRecordingHostApiImpl.java#L20.
Does this need to be added in or was audio disabled another way?
Or does this setting only affect the permission request: https://github.com/flutter/packages/blob/main/packages/camera/camera_android_camerax/lib/src/android_camera_camerax.dart#L352
