(SOLVED) XR Elite audio breaks/stops after starting screen recording, requiring headset restart

[Radicals]

We were experiencing a bug where the headset audio would stop playing after we started screen recording on our app (made in Unity).

We spent a long time troubleshooting.

The issue was a permission issue, we did not know that we needed to add this line to our Android Manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAPTURE_AUDIO_HOTWORD"/>

 

Which apparently you need to do from Android v29 onwards.  
We added this line, built out, and now audio remains on while screen recording.

 

Hope this helps someone.
