Hey all,  
I’m looking for a way to directly play microphone input to headphones in my Unity game.

Looking at the API I know it should be possible,  
[https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=core-api-system.html#system\_recordstart](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=core-api-system.html#system_recordstart)

But I don’t see any way to reach these classes in the Unity plugin.  
Is there anyone that has any leads on how to integrate microphone / recording device functionality using the FMOD Unity plugin?

Thank you in advance!

Cheers,  
Jack

You can access the Studio and Core systems via the [RuntimeManager](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-unity?version=2.0&page=api-runtimemanager.html), you will need to use the Core System for recording.
