Joining a channel on Agora (Unity/iOS) makes in-game music almost inaudible

I'm trying to integrate Agora voice SDK in a multiplayer project (built using Photon). The level has loads of 3D spacial audio setup and a background music that is properly audible. The moment I join a voice channel, all the in-game audio levels drop drastically. The voice chat volume itself sounds fine however. And this happens only on actual device(iOS), not on Unity editor.

I tried reproducing this issue in the HelloUnity3D sample scene that comes with the SDK. No code change. Simply added an audio source in the scene with a music clip. Seems to be happening there as well.

Is this expected? How do I keep Agora from modifying other audio sources?

Unity version:2020.3.28f1. Agora SDK version: 3.5.0.70

I faced a similar issue in my Unity project. Using headphones did work, but there was significant echo leakage when using the device's speakers. In my case, I was using the Wwise audio engine, and I found the GME for Wwise plugin to be helpful in maintaining desired audio levels for both in-game sounds and voice chat without echo leakage. If your project also uses Wwise, you might look into the GME for Wwise plugin. However, if you're using a different audio engine, you may need to explore other solutions.

For anyone running into this issue, I was able to fix it by setting the audio profile to AUDIO_SCENARIO_GAME_STREAMING.

mRtcEngine.SetAudioProfile(AUDIO_PROFILE_TYPE.AUDIO_PROFILE_SPEECH_STANDARD, AUDIO_SCENARIO_TYPE.AUDIO_SCENARIO_GAME_STREAMING);

The idea is to simply treat the voice chat audio as media volume instead of 'call' volume.

This answer about audio ducking with the Agora SDK is likely what you're after. You might have to add some iOS specific code to your project to achieve it:
