--use-file-for-fake-audio-capture doesn't play on google.com

I am trying to make an audio file play on google.com. I have the following code:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.AddArguments(
        //"--allow-file-access-from-files",
        "--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream",
        //"--allow-file-access",
        "--use-file-for-fake-audio-capture=" + AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "/audio.wav",
        "--use-fake-device-for-media-stream"
            );
        IWebDriver chrome = new ChromeDriver(options);

this code opens a chrome window with the use of selenium in C# and everything works as expected. When i go to an online audio recorder or https://appr.tc/?debug=loopback then my audio file plays just like it is supposed to do. However, when i go to google.com and I click on the search by voice button at the end of the searchbar nothing happens. (when I just talk then google.com recognizes my voice) What am I missing and why doesn't it work? I am trying to recreate this but in C# http://www.testautomationguru.com/selenium-webdriver-google-voice-search-automation-using-arquillian-graphene/. Is there some kind of javascript code I could execute on the page to make it work? I wouldn't mind using a firefoxdriver instead of a chrome one if that solves the problem.

Thanks

Edit: I found a little more information on https://webrtc.org/testing/ so I suppose this means that google.com doesn't make use of the webrtc getUserMedia() call to get the audio? Any way I could modify the page so it does or can I change some other setting? I also just checked https://speechnotes.co/ and on that site my audio also isn't detected but my real microphone is.

This should now be fixed:

google.com makes use of webKitSpeechRecognition() in javascript which is the built in chrome speech recognition, checkchrome speech recognition WebKitSpeechRecognition() not accepting input of fake audio device --use-file-for-fake-audio-capture or audio file
