Microphone.Start can't choose device

Hey there,
So I'm using Unity 2017.2.0f3 and apparently choosing the device in Microphone.Start does not work. It ALWAYS uses the default recording device, no matter what I put in.
Is there a way to fix this without updating my Unity version?

 

Hey! We are using 2017.3.1f1 and also encountering that problem. I have no idea since which Unity version this happens because we've only tried using it now. I've submitted a bug report last friday.

If anyone from Unity can suggest any workaround we would be very thankful!

 

Yeah, I tried updating Unity to see if that would fix it, and noticed it was still a problem. I found this in the issue tracker already
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...ding-the-audio-from-selected-recording-device

So we can downgrade to fix it... or wait until a solid build of 2018

 

Indeed, the folks at Unity linked me to that issue. I was not aware. They told me that "The initial fix will land in Unity 2018.2, but will be backported to 2018.1".
