How to configure the Onvif camera to play audio?

Hi there.
I use a Digoo DG-M1Z camera which has an rtsp stream with audio.
I use the following configuration:

ffmpeg:

stream:

camera:
  - platform: onvif
    host: 192.168.1.xxx
    name: camera1
    username: admin
    password: password
    port: 5000
    profile: 0
    extra_arguments: -q:v 2

I added the following card:

type: picture-entity
entity: camera.camera1
camera_image: camera.camera1

After clicking on the stream I am able to watch the stream. Unfortunately, clicking on the speaker icon (to unmute) doesn’t change anything. There’s no audio output. I tried different “extra_arguments” settings, but was unable to find the solution.

When I’m recording using the following command:

ffmpeg -i 'rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/onvif1' -vcodec copy -c:a aac -map 0 -f segment -segment_time 300 -segment_format mkv "camera_capture-%03d.mkv"

I am able to hear the audio.

I tried adding “-c:a aac” to “extra_arguments” but it didn’t change anything.

Am I missing something?

Has anybody resolved this yet please?

I have supervisor with onvif integrations on Hikvision cams. Video works audio doesn’t but mute option is there.

Cheers
