    I'm having a weird lag when I call Microphone.Start / Microphone.End to record AudioClips. It happens every time I call the Start method and it stalls my game for 0.5s which really breaks the player's experience. I didn't try it on iOS but PC platform doesn't have this issue.

    Any experience with the lag?
    Any suggestions on how to fix that?

    We see this on iOS too! It's probably more like 0.25s for us, but it's still pretty ugly.

    I have the same issue, and it really makes the use of the microphone difficult during gameplay. Did anyone find a solution to this? I'm using 2021.3.9 LTS.
