DUAL_CHANNEL_AGENT egress not producing dual channel output

Egress / Ingress

This question originally came up in our Slack community and the thread has been consolidated here for long-term reference.

I’m running the self-hosted egress service and using DUAL_CHANNEL_AGENT setting, but I’m not getting dual channel output. I’ve tried both .ogg and .mp4 formats.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

For dual channel egress with self-hosted egress service:

  1. Make sure you’re on egress version 1.11.0 or later:
    Release Version 1.11.0 · livekit/egress · GitHub

  2. Set enable_room_composite_sdk_source to true in your egress config

This setting is required to enable dual channel output. It will soon become the default behavior.
