Do I need permissions to record microphone on android device?

Godot Version

4.4

Question

`I’ve been following Godot Docs related to implement audio recording and as suggested I downloaded the demo projects and followed the instructions.

Besides, I could make the mic_record demo project run on my PC and works as expected (Updated for Godot 4.4) when I run the app on my android device I couldn’t play the recorded audio, or I don’t even know if is recording.

I already checked the audio/driver/enable_input flag true as it should, but then my question:

Is there some other permission to enable audio on the android device?
When we run any app should we need to ask for permission to use the mic and how do I ask the permission to the user?

Thank you in advance `

Did you enable the Record Audio permission when exporting the project for Android?

Thanks for your answer, you are right! I haven’t noticed about this export permissions, I just added this Record Audio permission and so the app is requesting to use the mic when I run the app.

Besides, the mic is only working the first time I record the voice, if I press “STOP” and start recording again it doesn’t work anymore. This reminds me another post I’ve seen before

Mic input only works the first time running game

hmm maybe thank you for finding that

Also, when I play the recorded audio it sounds very low, I can barely hear what I recorded.
