Microphone not working for voice chat
After using voice chat in a room, if I move to another room, the other person can't hear me through voice chat.It looks like my microphone is no longer working.
I think this is related to the following error, but is there a solution?
Execution environment:
Unity2021.3.37f1
Normcore2.10.4
iPhone12Pro (iOS17.5.1)
Error:
AURemoteIO.cpp:1162 failed: -66635 (enable 1, outf< 1 ch, 0 Hz, Float32> inf< 1 ch, 48000 Hz, Float32>) NativeMicrophone: Failed to initialize the VoiceProcessingIO audio unit. Bailing.

Hi @arita. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

The error message you're seeing suggests that there's an issue with the microphone permissions or settings on your device. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
1. Check your default microphone device settings. Make sure your microphone is plugged in and functioning properly.
2. If you're on a platform that requires microphone permissions (like iOS), make sure your microphone permissions and Microphone Usage Description is set correctly in Unity.
3. Normcore will print an error message to console if something fails. It's highly recommended to check your player logs for more information if audio is not working.
If you're still encountering issues after checking these points, I recommend reaching out to the Normcore community on their Discord (https://normcore.io/documentation/essentials/common-questions#does-normcore-support-x-y-z) for further assistance.
You can find more information about this in the Normcore documentation (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/common-questions#voice-chat-doesnt-work-why).

I don't think there is a problem with microphone permissions.
iOS doesn’t let you run multiple VoiceIO audio units at once. you’ll need to make sure the previous instance is fully shut down, or patch RealtimeAvatarVoice to reuse a shared microphone instance
Thanks for your reply.
make sure the previous instance is fully shut downWhat should I do about this? I destroyed the GameObject that had the RealtimeAvatarVoice attached to it before migrating the room, but that didn't solve it. It seems that you can avoid this by setting _nativeMicrophoneDevice of RealtimeAvatarVoice to static. Thank you. However, I don't think it's the best to modify RealtimeAvatarVoice for this purpose. I've attached a project where this phenomenon occurs. Please check if you are using RealtimeAvatarVoice correctly.
I re-uploaded the project removing the Library and Logs folders.
