Updated to Unity 5.2 and suddenly my mic input script isn't working?

I have this mic input script I’m using for a game of mine that I learned online from http://www.kaappine.fi/tutorials/using-microphone-input-in-unity3d/ it’s pretty straight forward and I’ll post the code below, now this script was working wonderfully and I’ve built a whole game around it using it as the main backbone if you will, after I updated unity to fix the OnApplicationPause() problem I was having the loudness variable now suddenly stays at zero. I use the loudness variable to compare to a threshold to spawn my objects, so you see my problem. The OnApplicationPause now works though *frustrated face. PLEASE HELP

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

[RequireComponent(typeof(AudioSource))]
public class MicrophoneInput : MonoBehaviour {

	public float sensitivity = 100f;
	public float loudness = 0f;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {

		GetComponent<AudioSource>().clip = Microphone.Start (null, true, 10, 44100);
		GetComponent<AudioSource>().loop = true;
		GetComponent<AudioSource>().mute = true;
		while (!(Microphone.GetPosition(null) > 0)){}
		GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play ();
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

		loudness = GetAveragedVolume () * sensitivity;
	
	}

	float GetAveragedVolume(){

		float[] data = new float[256];
		float a = 0f;
		GetComponent<AudioSource>().GetOutputData (data, 0);

		foreach(float s in data)
		{
			a += Mathf.Abs(s);
		}

		return a/256;

	}
}

Ok so after doing some extensive research I found out I wasn’t the only one having this problem and I found a solution, the problem was with part of the code that mutes the audio source, apparently a mute audio source sending output data was an error during the older versions of unity that they actually fixed this version, and if you want to get the output data the audio source needs to be un-muted but you can achieve the same effect by routing the audio source through and audio mixer group that is fully attenuated.
