Question by dskillsaw · May 25, 2012 at 05:50 AM · iosaudiomicrophone

Microphone.Start() stops audio from playing on ios

When I call

Microphone.Start("", true, 4, 44100);

My iphone output volume drops to almost imperceptibly low levels. I suppose this is to keep audio playing from the phone speakers from being recorded, but in my case it's causing all kinds of issues. I would really just like the audio to stay at the normal volume and I can take care of controlling what sounds are playing.

Anyone else run into this or know a work around? I would file a bug but I don't know how to going about doing that (or if it's appropriate).

Thanks, Drew

Also a very late response, but I ran into this issue as well. I found some code to force the audio back to the speaker, and wrapped it into a plugin. Seems to fix it. Download

Thank you very much, man. This is exactly what I needed! Have you considered putting this code on the asset store as a plugin? Other people might like to use it too :)

Very late answer but for anyone else having a similar problem.

When the iPhone is recording from the microphone through Unity it will play any audio through the ear piece instead of the normal speaker. I don't know of any way to actually get around this other than to not be recording from the mike when playing audio.
