I am new to FMOD and just set it up using ndk build on Android. I have tried a few examples that ship with the SDK and everything else I have tried works except the record.cpp example. I would like to test recording voice through device’s microphone. When I try to run this on my android device, it shows the error "No recording devices found/plugged in! Aborting ". I have tried inserting a earphone/microphone in the Aux and also tried removing it. I have the RECORD\_AUDIO permissions on the app. And I tried this example with another android device too (Pixel XL 2). Can someone please direct me as to what I need to do to get this working?

You may need to check the output mode of the device.

> The Audio Track output mode currently does not support recording, please use the OpenSL output mode for this.
