LiveApp can't initialize

I just received an Audiomoth 1.2.0. I am running Win 10.

I flashed the latest USB mic firmware, switched the switch to custom, red light flashes rapidly, opened the LiveApp and a window opens stating it cannot initialize the input device. At the upper left, it states "384kHz AudioMoth USB microphone" (greyed out) and if I use the USB configure app to change the sample rate, and then reopen the LiveApp, the upper left will state "the new sample rate AudioMoth USB microphone" (device manager also labels mic with new sample rate). However, regardless of the many sequences and re-flashings I have done, the bulk of the live app page remains greyed out and a message box always pops up stating "Initilization Error Could not initialize the input device".


What am I doing wrong?

Alex,

Although the microphone showed enabled in the device manager, all mics were disallowed in the "permissions" settings in Windows. Your last reply reminded me that on this platform I had turned off permissions for both the mic and camera years ago. With permission reinstated, all is now functioning as it should. I am not sure I would have recalled the permissions settings without your assistance.

Thank-you very much,

PLY
