### audioUnmute

* **audioUnmute**(`params`): `Promise<void>`

Unmutes the microphone of a given member if it had been previously muted.

#### Parameters

<ParamField path="params" type="object">
  Object containing the parameters of the method.
</ParamField>

<Indent>
  <ParamField path="memberId" type="string">
    ID of the member to unmute.
  </ParamField>
</Indent>

#### Returns

`Promise<void>`

#### Example

In this example, we mute the audio of a member as soon as they join the room.
After 5 seconds, we unmute the member's audio.
This example assumes that there is a [`RoomSession`][roomsession-41]
already active and that members are joining the room.

```js
import { SignalWire } from "@signalwire/realtime-api";

// Initialize the SignalWire client
const client = await SignalWire({ project: "ProjectID Here", token: "Token Here" })

// Access the video client from the main client
const videoClient = client.video;

// Setup listener for when a room starts
await videoClient.listen({
  onRoomStarted: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room started", roomSession.displayName);
    await roomSession.listen({
      // Listen for when a member joins the room
      onMemberJoined: async (member) => {
        // Mute member's audio
        console.log(`Muting ${member.id}'s audio`);
        await roomSession.audioMute({ memberId: member.id });
        // Unmute member's audio after 5 seconds
        setTimeout(() => {
          console.log(`Unmuting ${member.id}'s audio`);
          roomSession.audioUnmute({ memberId: member.id });
        }, 5000);
      }
    });
  },
  onRoomEnded: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room ended", roomSession.displayName);
  }
});
```
