Everyplay holds my microphone UNITY3D iOS

I have one question regarding implementation of Everyplay Video Recording on iOS devices.

The problem occurs when I finish recording. I go to Everyplay video preview where you can edit video and share it. Then, when I go back to my game when clicking on back or after sharing video, I cannot use the microphone in Unity.

I think that Everyplay still holds my microphone but I don't know how to release it. I have the same implementation on Android and it works perfectly. I think that the problem exists because on iOS you have an option to edit video using microphone or camera.

Any thoughts?

Solution

  • I was unable to replicate your issue on iOS7. However the problem did exist on iOS6. I made a small hack which seems to fix it on my device.

    EveryplayMicHack.cs (copy this to Plugins/Everyplay/Scripts folder):

    using UnityEngine;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class EveryplayMicHack {
    public static void EnableRecording() {
#if UNITY_IPHONE && !UNITY_EDITOR
        SetPreferredSampleRate(AudioSettings.outputSampleRate);
#endif
    }

#if UNITY_IPHONE && !UNITY_EDITOR
    [DllImport ("__Internal")]
    private static extern void SetPreferredSampleRate(int sampleRate);
#endif
}

    EveryplayMicHack.h (copy this to Plugins/iOS folder)

    #import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

void SetPreferredSampleRate(int sampleRate);

    EveryplayMicHack.m (copy this to Plugins/iOS folder)

    #import "EveryplayMicHack.h"

void SetPreferredSampleRate(int sampleRate) {
    AVAudioSession *audioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
    [audioSession setPreferredHardwareSampleRate:sampleRate error:nil];
}

    And before initializing your microphone, call: EveryplayMicHack.EnableRecording();

    // Something like this
EveryplayMicHack.EnableRecording();

myMicAudioSource.clip = null;
myMicAudioSource.clip = Microphone.Start("Built-in Microphone", ...

    I hope it works for you too! :)
