    When I call Microphone.End(null), there is a noticeable hiccup (tested in Android). I've tried running this in a background thread, but I get an error saying that method can only be called form the main thread.

    Is there a way to avoid that hiccup when calling Microphone.End()?

    I am also experiencing this issue using Unity 5.4.4 on WIndows 7 64bit, with the Oculus Rift microphone. I have reports from some of my testers that the freeze can be as long as 30 seconds.

    Anybody have any info on how to avoid this issue?

    Thanks!

    Likewise, I have the same issue on Windows 7 x64, and I also tried and failed using a thread to handle it. If there is no answer or fix, I'd be happy just to know it's a generally acknowledged issue that may get fixed in a future update.
