Short answer: use ElevenLabs’ WebRTC path for live voice. ElevenLabs’ Conversational AI over WebRTC provides built‑in, best‑in‑class echo cancellation and background noise removal, which is the documented way to mitigate volume ducking/feedback on single‑device speaker+mic setups like an iPad kiosk. You can enable this via the provided UI components (e.g., ConversationBar) or your own WebRTC client. (elevenlabs.io)

What ElevenLabs docs do and don’t cover:

Documented mitigation: switch your live agent/audio streaming to WebRTC to leverage its echo cancellation and noise suppression. (elevenlabs.io)
Not documented: a toggle in ElevenLabs to disable device‑level echo cancellation or system “ducking” on iOS/iPadOS. If you must change that behavior, it has to be done at the OS/app level, which our docs don’t cover. (No ElevenLabs doc available to cite.)

If you’re working with recorded audio (not live), you can post‑process the capture with Voice Isolator to remove ambient noise before TTS/analysis. (elevenlabs.io)

Need help implementing the WebRTC flow or confirming behavior on your kiosk build? Please contact ElevenLabs Support with details of your setup. (help.elevenlabs.io)
