Add microphone in unity for Android platform

I want to take audio input in my unity application which I am building for Android platform. The code I have added in Start Function is as follows:

var audio = GetComponent< AudioSource > ();
audio.clip = Microphone.Start("Built-in Microphone", true, 10, 44100);
audio.loop = true;
while (!(Microphone.GetPosition(null) > 0)) { }
audio.Play();

But it is showing the following error:

ArgumentException: Couldn't acquire device ID for device name Built-in Microphone

I'm referring from this post to add microphone. How to resolve this? Also, is there any blog available for doing this end to end?

The error message clearly indicates that it can't find a Microphone device named "Built-in Microphone". So you should probably see what devices it can find.

Try running the following code in the Start method and see what output you get:

foreach (var device in Microphone.devices)
    {
        Debug.Log("Name: " + device);
    }

Once you have a list of the devices, then replace "Built-in Microphone" with the name of your desired device. If "Built-in Microphone" is in the list or you get the same issue with a different device, then you're probably dealing with a permissions issue.
