Hi everyone,  
I am working in a little simulation to guide users to record sound. I am testing p5.sound [here](https://rvalla.github.io/assets/testing/p5js/testing_s.html) (the code is [this](https://github.com/rvalla/rvalla.github.io/blob/master/assets/testing/p5js/testing_s.js)).  
The sketch works records and triggered a local download correctly on Firefox, Brave, Opera and Safari (desktop) and Safari (iOS). In Firefox I can’t get amplitude level (audioIn.getLevel() doesn’t work).  
But I can’t make the sketch work in any Android browser. I grant the permission, connect to stream media, but buffer is always null…  
Any ideas?

Now the sketch is recording properly on Brave and Opera in Android. I don’t know why. Perhaps there was some other application connected to the audio input. If I close others browsers and tabs works… But I am not sure.  
The objects related to the AudioContext are initialize after user interaction of course:

```auto
function setup() {
  getAudioContext().suspend();
  createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);
}

function mouseClicked() {
  if (as === -1) {
    userStartAudio();
    ac = new audiocontrol(0.5);
    as = 0;
  }
}

```
