No audio in WebRTC over WebView in Android PiP mode

Question

I have an Android Webview that has a meeting running inside of it.

When I'm in full-screen mode, everything works perfectly. However, when I enter the PiP mode, I lose the audio. Participants can hear me, but I can't hear them.

I tried requesting the audio focus and played with the webview settings a little bit, but nothing seems to work.

I tried to play a sound in the pip using the MediaPlayer, and it worked, but the meeting WebRTC audio is not working.

Is it possible to have sound from a WebView inside PiP mode, and if so, how?

After a thorough investigation, we found that the issue is not related to Android itself but rather to the FE team, as they didn’t handle sound properly when inside the PiP view.

In our FE application, we have two separate components, one for video and one for audio.
When we enter the PiP mode, the FE team changes the view; however, they forgot to inject the audio component inside the PiP view.
