microphone.start

Syntax

ue.microphone.start(options?: table) -> integer, string?

This function requires a persistent session and returns a capture ID.

Option	Type	Default	Range
`sample_rate`	`integer`	`16000`	8,000–48,000 Hz
`channels`	`integer`	`1`	`1` or `2`
`max_seconds`	`integer`	`20`	1–30 seconds

local capture_id, err = ue.microphone.start({
    sample_rate = 16000,
    channels = 1,
    max_seconds = 20
})
assert(capture_id, err)

Only one capture can be active across all Lua sessions. The maximum duration is enforced even if microphone.stop has not been called.
