I have an app that keeps on listening to voice and converting it to commands using Google Voice API.

I have been using setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true) to mute the beep and it worked until a couple of days ago before "Google Search" new update. Is there any workaround fix for it?

I know I can use setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT), but maybe there is another method?

In the update they switched the output of the 'beep' to the media stream.

So you'll need to mute the AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC

There's an enhancement request about it here
