  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2023.1.0a13):

    Added support for Android's AAudio engine, so on Android 8.1 and later, Unity Audio is now layered over AAudio. This fixes 4 audio bugs, related to built-in stereo speaker output, built-in vs. Bluetooth microphone selection, Microphone.Start and Microphone.Stop CPU spikes, and low-latency audio output.

    This also happens on my Windows build. What is the point of having "Best Latency" option if it can't even play back audio properly on a completely blank Windows build playing back a single 2 second
    audio clip?

    Yarome, the current plan is that we will not back-port the AAudio implementation (which fixes this issue) because we want to go through a full alpha/beta test cycle to iron out new bugs that may arise before it is officially released. So, yeah, you'll have to update to 2023 to get this fix for now. I know this is not ideal. I suppose it's possible that we'll change this plan, but we're trying to be cautious with such a big code change.

    Will this resolution be brought to Unity 2021 (and eventually 2022) LTS? Or will we need to upgrade to a 2023 editor version in order to take advantage of this?
