In-Game: audio_get_recorder_count() does not count any devices which contain non-Latin characters in their name

[gm-bug-reporter]

Description

It will always return 0 when device name (in windows) contains non-Latin characters,which is default in non-latin windows system.
It means any game using this function will not work properly on the player's computer in these areas.
And if change the name of mic device to full EN letters,it will return correct number.

This bug report appeared in community many times,I think it dose not matter which runtime is in using.

See the pic in attach files.

Steps To Reproduce

just try change the name of mic device to some non-Latin characters.like ”麦克风“

Fixed an issue where the string conversion method used to decode device names was proving unreliable with certain character sets.

To test:

• Go to Windows sound settings (Settings -> System -> Sound).
• Open the page for your device.
• Rename it to: マイクロフォン
• Open and run this project, targeting Windows: _input.zip
• You should see that the input device is displayed as an available device, as below:
