Using AkAudioInput in Unity

+2 votes
I am on a Mac in Unity and Wwise 2017.2 and cannot resolve a "Wwise: Plug-in execution failure" when using the wwise AkAudioInput source plugin. I have looked at the unity integration documentation on using the AkAudioInput source plugin and it only says iOs audio input is not supported -- nothing else.  It does *not* say any other systems are unsupported.  The documentation offers no path forward.  What am I doing wrong?  I can plainly hear the sound in wwise.

I would just like to say that I solved it and made a script to copy/paste on my project blog.  The reason I don't post it here is because my script is larger than the character limit. 

Here is the summary from my comments in the script:

"// Basic strategy is to call UnityEngine.Microphone.Start(), which begins periodic calls to OnAudioFilterRead in the Unity DSP audio processing thread (“producer thread“)
// and then to call AkAudioInputManager.PostAudioInputEvent(), which begins periodic calls to AudioSamplesDelegate in an AkAudioInputManager background thread (“consumer thread“)

// Microphone input samples are written to a buffer in OnAudioFilterRead (“producer function“)
// and read from the buffer in AudioSamplesDelegate (“consumer function“)

// IMPORTANT:  ensure that under Edit –> Project Settings –> Audio, “Disable Unity Audio“ is NOT checked"

Really excited to try this, if it works for me then I owe you one!

It will work but make sure your sample rates/audio settings are set up right (you will get the hypnotoad and/or a delay if you put a different sample rate) and be very deliberate with your routing/ ducking in the audiomixer!    Comment back to me if you run into any issues.  I can vouch for it working atm.  I'm using it right now.
