How to perform a self-mute after being connected to a voice channel?

[tcortega]

I know that when connecting to a VoiceChannel you can simply pass down a JoinChannelConfig object and decide whether or not it should join as selfMute. But how do you perform the mute after being connected to the channel? It seems like you can't do it at all via the VoiceConnection and the VoiceState doesn't help either.

Found a way to do it using the client's underlaying websocket and broadcasting the packet manually.

client.ws.broadcast({
  op: GatewayOpCodes.VOICE_STATE_UPDATE, // 4
  d: {
    guild_id: connection.channel.guildId,
    channel_id: connection.channel.id,
    self_mute: true,
    self_deaf: false,
    self_video: false,
  },
})

Does this still work?

I have added const { GatewayOpcodes } = require('discord.js');
I get no errors, but the self mute does not change.

It should still work, however the GatewayOpcodes I was using were not from discord.js, it was something I added to the code itself.

export enum GatewayOpCodes {
    DISPATCH = 0,
    HEARTBEAT = 1,
    IDENTIFY = 2,
    PRESENCE_UPDATE = 3,
    VOICE_STATE_UPDATE = 4,
    ...
}

But as long as the VOICE_STATE_UPDATE you're using maps to 4 you are fine.

If it still doesn't work, perhaps you're not using the actual websocket? Either that or discord has updated but I doubt that.

Great!
It still works, thanks a lot!

Adding const GatewayOpCodes = { DISPATCH: 0, HEARTBEAT: 1, IDENTIFY: 2, PRESENCE_UPDATE: 3, VOICE_STATE_UPDATE: 4 }; instead of using them from discord.js somehow made it work.
