Another solution is to add:

### Enable Echo/Noise-Cancellation
load-module module-echo-cancel use_master_format=1 aec_method=webrtc aec_args="analog_gain_control=0 digital_gain_control=1" source_name=echoCancel_source sink_name=echoCancel_sink
set-default-source echoCancel_source
set-default-sink echoCancel_sink

# automatically switch to newly-connected devices
load-module module-switch-on-connect ignore_virtual=no

to ~/.config/pulse/default.pa or to the bottom of the /etc/pulse/default.pa file.

I have this snippet you pasted here at the bottom of my /etc/pulse/default.pa file. It came in via the regular update process on June 4th (I didn't add it manually.)

Awesome, can we close this now?

Just came across this thread after consistently having issues in video conferences at work with Librem15 v4.

I do not see that snippet from mladen in my /etc/pulse/default.pa file, and when I try to add it to my ~/.config/pulse/default.pa, it seems to break pulse audio completely when i try to restart it.

I am using KDE, so perhaps Phonon could be interfering?

*edit*

i tried adding simply load-module module-echo-cancel to /etc/pulse/default.pa, and it does give me an option to use the echo cancelled device in sound settings now.

NOTE: You need to logout and login again or to restart pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k command for the changes to come into effect.

I don't have this snippet (or any sign of echo-cancelling) in my default.pa, running a fully updated PureOS.

If you follow those instructions you should have echo-cancelling.

I just wanted to point out, that it doesn't seem to be added via an update (but it should - in my opinion, if that's not an option it should be probably added in the wiki?)
I'm fine with the manual edit. :)

Good point - I will add it to the wiki. I will also dig into why it is not coming via an update, although I suspect it may be because it is not available in the upstream configuration.
