    Is it me or we can't find nor access the MicTestProject.zip file?

    Answering my own question: waiting a frame after Microphone.Start() seems to do the trick (e.g. by doing a yield return null in a coroutine). The channels and sample rate are reported correctly in the following tick.

    Confirmed in 5.6b7 as well. Anyone find a workaround, since this seems to make Microphone.Start useless?

    In addition to misreporting channel data, sample rate is also reported as 0 from the mic clip.
