[omnidisc] mute failed

Error message

[omnidisc] mute failed

What it means

This warning is logged by omnidisc-voice-store's toggleMute when the Tauri IPC command `omnidisc_voice_set_mute` rejects. The store optimistically flips the local `muted` flag, calls the backend, and rolls the flag back if the backend call fails, so UI state stays consistent. It is a non-fatal warning: the app keeps running but the mute did not take effect on the voice backend.

Solutions

  1. Check the errorText(e) payload in the console to see the backend's error message and fix the root cause there.
  2. Ensure the voice session is connected/started before toggling mute; gate the button on connection state.
  3. Verify the `omnidisc_voice_set_mute` command is registered in the Tauri builder and its Rust handler returns Result.
  4. Test on a machine with a working audio input device; mute may fail when no capture device exists.
  5. In browser dev mode, expect all invoke() calls to fail; test inside the Tauri app instead.

Example fix

// before
muted = next;
try {
  applyStatus(await invoke<VoiceStatusWire>("omnidisc_voice_set_mute", { muted: next }));
} catch (e) {
  muted = !next;
  console.warn("[omnidisc] mute failed", errorText(e));
}
// after
if (!connected) return; // don't attempt mute without an active voice session
muted = next;
try {
  applyStatus(await invoke<VoiceStatusWire>("omnidisc_voice_set_mute", { muted: next }));
} catch (e) {
  muted = !next;
  notifyUser("Could not change mute: " + errorText(e));
  console.warn("[omnidisc] mute failed", errorText(e));
}
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

// caller-side
if (!get(voiceConnected)) throw new Error("voice session not active");

Type guard

function isTauri(): boolean {
  return typeof window !== "undefined" && "__TAURI_INTERNALS__" in window;
}

Try / catch

try {
  applyStatus(await invoke<VoiceStatusWire>("omnidisc_voice_set_mute", { muted: next }));
} catch (e) {
  muted = !next; // roll back optimistic state
  console.warn("[omnidisc] mute failed", errorText(e));
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling toggleMute() when the Tauri backend command `omnidisc_voice_set_mute` returns an error: backend not running/initialized, voice session not started, audio subsystem failure, or the command rejected with a Rust error (e.g. poisoned mutex, audio device unavailable).

Common situations: Voice session torn down while user clicks the mute button; audio daemon/device disconnected; Tauri command handler panicked or returned Err; running the frontend in a browser (no Tauri IPC) during dev.
