Qwen Audio Realtime

Runs speech understanding, turn detection, reasoning, and speech generation in one persistent realtime session. Use it for the lowest-latency speech-to-speech graph.

Property Value
Node type qwen.audio_realtime
Layer / kind algorithm / transform
Capability speech.to.speech.realtime

Ports

Port Direction Schema
audio_in Input Audio PCM S16LE, 16 kHz, mono, streaming
audio_out Output Audio PCM S16LE, 24 kHz, mono, streaming
transcript_preview_out Output Text Partial user transcript for local Graph consumers
transcript_out Output Text Final user transcript
response_text_out Output Text Assistant response deltas
event_out Output Event Speech state, response completion, barge-in, and transcript failure
signal_out Output Signal Barge-in/cancellation control routed by explicit Edges

Configuration

model defaults to qwen-audio-3.0-realtime-flash; voice selects the synthesized voice; instructions defines assistant behavior; turn_detection accepts server_vad or smart_turn. The flagship demo uses Qwen Realtime's internal server_vad, preserving the boundary that one Realtime Node owns VAD, ASR, LLM, and TTS. input_chunk_ms defaults to 100: the Node combines Agora's 10ms PCM Frames into the 100ms/3200-byte WebSocket chunks recommended by Model Studio while continuing to poll server events on every Runtime callback. Before sending any audio, the Node completes the strict session.created → session.update → session.updated handshake. A timeout or rejected configuration fails Runtime startup instead of leaving a false-running session whose audio count grows while the model never responds.

On interruption, the Qwen Node cancels its own generation and emits a muxiva.voice.speech.started Signal; the Agora Audio Sink receives it and clears queued PCM. The algorithm Node has no client-specific Port. The project-local voice_room.event_encoder consumes transcript_preview_out, transcript_out, response_text_out, and event_out, then builds the Voice Room protocol. NotificationBus remains local observability. Voice Room renders YOU ARE SPEAKING and BARGE-IN · INTERRUPTING AGENT; [MUXIVA][AGORA][audio.cancelled] reports the exact number of bytes removed from pending playback.

If RTC Frames keep increasing but there is no response, inspect input.audio_peak_pcm16 and input.audio_mean_abs_pcm16 on the Qwen Node in Observe. Values that remain near zero mean the browser is publishing silence or the wrong input device, rather than an ASR network bottleneck. Voice Room also shows a live MIC LEVEL and emits a yellow diagnostic when it sees no speech energy for five seconds.
