Update React SDK to Fix Tool Call Audio Interruptions
ElevenLabs · Bug Fix · · minor
Briefing for: Engineering
What happened
ElevenLabs released version 1.2.1 of its React SDK, specifically addressing a bug where tool call sounds would interrupt the conversational agent. This release follows version 1.3.0 of the core client library.
Why it matters
This fix is critical for developers building conversational agents that execute external functions. Previously, the audio feedback or processing from a tool call could cut off the agent's speech, leading to a fragmented user experience.
What this enables
- If you use the ElevenLabs React SDK, updating to 1.2.1 ensures that agent responses remain continuous even when triggering background tools.
- If you are debugging audio cut-outs in your conversational UI, this patch resolves a known conflict between tool execution and the playback stream.
