I'm facing an issue where I can't play an audio file stored in my project after receiving a push-to-talk notification. Strangely, I'm able to play the audio file by tapping on a button before receiving the push notification, but it doesn't work afterward without any error messages. I've ensured that I've set up everything correctly in my project's capabilities. Any insights on what might be causing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I set everything in capabilities
Set permission in .plist
Request permission in app delegate
I make connection to the room when app becomes active and received succes
Then I setup .halfDuplex for this channel
In restoredChannelUUID I activate AVAudioSession
After sending the ppt push, I parse speaker and make it activeRemoteParticipant.
I see than delegate function channelManager didActivate works good
Where I tried to play audio from my player
I see this prints in console, but no sound play

In my application, I use CallKit and have supportsHolding = true set. During my phone call, another call comes in (e.g., GSM). I accept the incoming call and put the current call on hold.
If I end the active call myself, everything is fine, and CallKit calls the
method provider(_ provider: CXProvider, didActivate audioSession: AVAudioSession).
However, if the other party ends the call, the second call remains on hold. In the application, the user clicks on unhold, and I notify CallKit that the hold has ended.
But in this case, the didActivate method is not called at all. If I try to activate the audio myself after unhold, I receive the error:
Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=561017449 "Session activation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Session activation failed}
AVAudioSessionErrorInsufficientPriority == NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code: 561017449
What needs to be done for CallKit to activate my audio?

I am using the category - playAndRecord and mode - videoChat with options - duckOthers. But during an audio call when I try to call setActive(true) an exception occurs and when I try to setActive(true) again after the audio call ended, I am not getting any exception, but voice is not coming. Below is what I am trying to do. So once initial session active attempt fails the system is not activating the session.
I have used AVAudioSession.interruptionNotification already but still its not setting the session as desired when audio call is ended.
try session.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .videoChat, options: .duckOthers)
try session.setActive(true)
I'm attempting to record from a device's microphone (under iOS) using AVAudioRecorder. The examples are all quite simple, and I'm following the same method. But I'm getting error messages on attempts to record, and the resulting M4A file (after several seconds of recording) is only 552 bytes long and won't load. Here's the recorder usage:
func startRecording()
{
let settings = [
AVFormatIDKey: Int(kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC),
AVSampleRateKey: 22050,
AVNumberOfChannelsKey: 1,
AVEncoderAudioQualityKey: AVAudioQuality.high.rawValue
]
do
{
recorder = try AVAudioRecorder(url: tempFileURL(), settings: settings)
recorder?.delegate = self
recorder!.record()
recording = true
}
catch
{
recording = false
recordingFinished(success: false)
}
}
The immediate sign of trouble appears to be the following, in the console. Note the 0 bits per channel and irrelevant 8K sample rate:
AudioQueueObject.cpp:1580 BuildConverter: AudioConverterNew returned -50 from: 0 ch, 8000 Hz, .... (0x00000000) 0 bits/channel, 0 bytes/packet, 0 frames/packet, 0 bytes/frame to: 1 ch, 8000 Hz, Int16
A subsequent attempt to load the file into AVAudioPlayer results in:
MP4_BoxParser.cpp:1089 DataSource read failed MP4AudioFile.cpp:4365 MP4Parser_PacketProvider->GetASBD() failed AudioFileObject.cpp:105 OpenFromDataSource failed AudioFileObject.cpp:80 Open failed
But that's not surprising given that it's only 500+ bytes and we had the earlier error. Anybody have an idea here? Every example on the Web shows essentially this exact method.
I've also tried constructing the recorder with
let audioFormat = AVAudioFormat.init(standardFormatWithSampleRate: 44100, channels: 1)
if audioFormat == nil
{
print("Audio format failed.")
}
else
{
do
{
recorder = try AVAudioRecorder(url: tempFileURL(), format: audioFormat!)
...
with mostly the same result. In that case the instantiation error message was the following, which at least mentions the requested sample rate:
AudioQueueObject.cpp:1580 BuildConverter: AudioConverterNew returned -50 from: 0 ch, 44100 Hz, .... (0x00000000) 0 bits/channel, 0 bytes/packet, 0 frames/packet, 0 bytes/frame to: 1 ch, 44100 Hz, Int32

I need to duck the audio coming from ApplicationMusicPlayer while playing a local file using AVAudioPlayer.
I've tried using the duckOthers option as follows, but it doesn't work:
let appAudioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
do
{
try appAudioSession.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .default, options: .duckOthers)
Maybe this is because there's one session for the entire app, and ApplicationMusicPlayer is using it?
This is a fairly critical problem for my application, since Music content is always much louder than locally recorded content. Any insight appreciated.

I'd like to allow the speech synthesizer to play on the device speaker while simultaneously mixing with a phone call. I've worked with a number of different configurations but am unable to find a configuration that achieves the functionality I am trying to achieve - or allows mixing with a phone call at all.
There is a flag: mixToTelephonyUplink that seems to suggest that at least some mixing with a phone call is possible using the speech synthesizer, but I'm currently unable to find almost any documentation about this flag besides basic API docs.
I've had some some luck at least getting the synthesizer to always play to the speaker with the following audio session configuration - but the sound never is mixed with a phone call. Instead, it is ducked and muted while the phone call takes place. I've tried quite a few configuration combinations for the category and overrides, but nothings seems to work quite as I'd expect it to.
synthesizer.mixToTelephonyUplink = true
try? audioSession.setCategory(.playback, mode: .voicePrompt, options: [.mixWithOthers, .defaultToSpeaker])
try? audioSession.setActive(true, options: [])
try? audioSession.overrideOutputAudioPort(.speaker)
Is there some kind of documentation for this that's off the beaten path that I'm somehow missing? I'm going to continue with guess and check, but I'm starting to think this flag - and the functionality it implies, actually wasn't ever fully implemented.

Background
When I receive the InterruptionBegan notification (the interruption type is AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeBegan) , I pause playing music.
When I receive the InterruptionEnded notification (the interruption type is AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeEnded), I resume playing music.
however, sometimes i has got the error code: AVAudioSessionErrorCodeCannotInterruptOthers (560557684)
Some Solutions
I searched stackoverflow, there's some similar questions, and some solutions here are not very satisfying as :
I don't want my app to mix with others, and once again, it all works most of the time.
My app already uses remote control events so this doesn't solve anything.
Questions
1.Have someone ever encountered this problem ?
2.Can we solve this problem and how ?
3.In addition, I noticed that there's property named otherAudioPlaying in AVAudioSession, we can know there's another app is playing,the quetion is if we can know which app is playing ?

My project has uses an AVAudioEngine with a very simple setup: A Speech recognizer running on a tap on the engine's input with separate AVAudioPlayerNodes handling playback.
try session.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .default, options: [])
try session.setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation)
try session.setAllowHapticsAndSystemSoundsDuringRecording(true)
filePlayerNode ---> engine.mainMixerNode
bufferPlayerNode --> engine.mainMixerNode
engine.mainMixerNode --> engine.outputNode
//bufferPlayer.scheduleBuffer() is called on its own queue
The input works fine since the buffers can be collected into a file and plays back correctly, and also because the recognizer works fine; but when I try to play the live audio by sending the buffer to the bufferPlayer on this or another device, the buffer audio plays at a very low volume, sometimes with severe distortions. If I lower the sample rate via AVAudioConverter, the distortions get worse.
I've tried experimenting with the AVAudioSession category options, having separate AVAudioEngines, and much, much more, yet I still haven't figured this out. It's gotten to the point where I've fixed almost all the arcane and minor issues in my audio system, yet I still can't play back my voice properly.
The ability to both play and record simultaneously is a basic feature of phones--when on speaker mode, a phone doesn't need to behave like a walkie-talkie. In my mind, it's inconceivable that the relatively new AVAudioEngine doesn't have a implementation for this, since the main issue (feedback loops) can be dealt with via a simple primitive circuit. Live video chat apps like FaceTime wouldn't be possible without this, yet to my surprise I found no answers online (what I did find were articles explaining how to write a file while playback is occurring).
Is there truly no way to do this on AVAudioEngine? Am I missing something fundamental? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

I'm trying to integrate Callkit into a Flutter app that uses webRTC for calls and I have an issue with taking calls on locked screen. CXAnswerCallAction requires to have the action.fulfill() method called after the connection is established. Here is a pice of code without waiting for establishment of the connection:
guard let call = self.callManager?.callWithUUID(uuid: action.callUUID) else{
action.fail()
return
}
call.data.isAccepted = true
self.answerCall = call
self.callManager?.updateCall(call)
sendEvent(SwiftCallKeepPlugin.ACTION_CALL_ACCEPT, call.data.toJSON())
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .milliseconds(1200)) {
self.configureAudioSession()
}
action.fulfill()
}
This causes the connection time counter to be immediately visible on the screen, but the user still has to wait for connection establishment and can't hear anything.
Here is the code that waits for the establishment of the connection before calling action.fulfill():
if(self.awaitedConnection.uuid != uuid) {
action.fail()
} else if(self.awaitedConnection.isConnected) {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .milliseconds(1200)) {
self.configureAudioSession()
}
action.fulfill()
} else {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .milliseconds(1000)) {
self.waitForConnection(uuid: uuid, action: action)
}
}
}
public func provider(_ provider: CXProvider, perform action: CXAnswerCallAction) {
guard let call = self.callManager?.callWithUUID(uuid: action.callUUID) else{
action.fail()
return
}
call.data.isAccepted = true
self.answerCall = call
self.callManager?.updateCall(call)
self.awaitedConnection.uuid = action.callUUID
self.awaitedConnection.isConnected = false
sendEvent(wiftCallKeepPlugin.ACTION_CALL_ACCEPT, call.data.toJSON())
waitForConnection(uuid: action.callUUID, action: action)
}
Unfortunately, though it works great on iOS 15.7, on 17.3 it causes lack of audio, no sound and no recording. I also can't enable it later when the call is ongoing. For reference:
let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
do{
try session.setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playAndRecord, options: AVAudioSession.CategoryOptions.allowBluetooth)
try session.setMode(self.getAudioSessionMode(data?.audioSessionMode ?? "voiceChat"))
try session.setActive(data?.audioSessionActive ?? true)
try session.setPreferredSampleRate(data?.audioSessionPreferredSampleRate ?? 44100.0)
try session.setPreferredIOBufferDuration(data?.audioSessionPreferredIOBufferDuration ?? 0.005)
}catch{
print(error)
}
}
I can see in the docs of action.fulfill() that "You should only call this method from the implementation of a CXProviderDelegate method". I this the reason for the issue? But how can I do it if I need to wait for the connection asynchronously and the provider method is synchronous?

Hello,
I’ve been trying to play system sounds in my app, but this hasn’t really been working. I am frequently switching between speech recognition (Speech framework) and sounds, so perhaps that’s where the issue lies. However, despite my best efforts, I haven't been able to solve the issue. I've been resetting the AVAudioSession category before playing a sound or starting speech recognition (as depicted in the code snippet below), to no avail. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anybody know how to fix the issue?
recognizer = nil
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, mode: .default, options: [])
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(1113)
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.record, mode: .spokenAudio, options: [])
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
recognizer = SpeechRecognition(word: wordSheet)
recognizer!.startRecognition()
Thank you.

There is a CustomPlayer class and inside it is using the MTAudioProcessingTap to modify the Audio buffer.
Let's say there are instances A and B of the Custom Player class.
When A and B are running, the process of B's MTAudioProcessingTap is stopped and finalize callback is coming up when A finishes the operation and the instance is terminated.
B is still experiencing this with some parts left to proceed. Same code same project is not happening in iOS 17.0 or lower.
At the same time when A is terminated, B can complete the task without any impact on B.
What changes to iOS 17.1 are resulting in these results? I'd appreciate it if you could give me an answer on how to avoid these issues.

If user use AirPods, and he change the name of AirPods to "xxxx", how to get the origin name of AirPods?
I am writing code to monitor the incoming audio levels in VisionOS. It works properly in the simulator, but gets an error on the device. Curious if anyone has any tips.

Hi all,
I have created a QuickLook Preview for my custom datatype in my app.
I use SwiftUI wrapped in UIKit for the preview. My issue is that when I try and play audio using AVAudioPlayer, I receive a status code 50 error.
Does anyone know if there are seperate permissions I need to request before being able to do this?
Here are the errors I get while trying to set my audio session as active and play on the avaudioplayer
Thanks for your help and advice!

I know that if you want background audio from AVPlayer you need to detatch your AVPlayer from either your AVPlayerViewController or your AVPlayerLayer in addition to having your AVAudioSession configured correctly.
I have that all squared away and background audio is fine until we introduce AVPictureInPictureController or use the PiP behavior baked into AVPlayerViewController.
If you want PiP to behave as expected when you put your app into the background by switching to another app or going to the homescreen you can't perform the detachment operation otherwise the PiP display fails.
On an iPad if PiP is active and you lock your device you continue to get background audio playback. However on an iPhone if PiP is active and you lock the device the audio pauses.
However if PiP is inactive and you lock the device the audio will pause and you have to manually tap play on the lockscreen controls. This is the same between iPad and iPhone devices.
My questions are:
Is there a way to keep background-audio playback going when PiP is inactive and the device is locked (iPhone and iPad)
Is there a way to keep background-audio playback going when PiP is active and the device is locked? (iPhone)

Hello, I am having issue with the setting my avaudiosession output to bluetooth a2dp device.
I want to use built in mic for the input and a2dp device (airpod pro 2) for the output route.
Whenever I set the .allowBluetoothA2DP for my avaudioSession option, the output changes to speaker.
the mode is default and category is playandrecord.
If I do the same procedure with airpod pro 1, the output sets to the airpod pro 1.
I am having the trouble when I use airpod pro 2 with iphone with ios 17. It seems like there is no issue with ios version below 17.
Anyone went through this kind of issue?
Thank you in advance.

When setting the mode during the configuration of an audio session in Swift, the previously configured categoryOptions get reset. For example, if you perform setMode as shown below, you will observe that all previously set categoryOptions are cleared.
Example:
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .videoChat, options: [.allowBluetooth, .defaultToSpeaker])
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setMode(.voiceChat)
If you need to change the mode while maintaining the categoryOptions, you have to perform setCategory once again. Although the exact reason for this behavior has not been identified, the practical impact on the application's functionality is not yet clear. Why do you think this handling is in place?

}
Beside that, the record module works normally. It is just the configuration change that it does not handle well.
I understand that when configuration changes, I need to reinit the audio engine to have the correct input format (since the new config/audio device can have different sample rate and such). If I don't do that, the app also crashes perhaps due to the mismatch.
AVAudioRecorder is not an option for me.
Thank you for your help.

We are currently in the process of developing a video calling app using WebRTC.
We initiate one-to-one video calls with the AVAudioSession configured as follows:
do {
if audioSession.category != .playAndRecord {
try audioSession.setCategory(
AVAudioSession.Category.playAndRecord,
options: [
.defaultToSpeaker
]
)
try audioSession.setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation)
}
if audioSession.mode != .videoChat {
try audioSession.setMode(.videoChat)
}
} catch {
logger.error(msg: "AVAudioSession: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
After initiating a video call, we recorded this app's video call using the iOS default screen recording feature.
As a result, the recorded video includes system audio.
However, iOS/iPad apps with similar features (Zoom, Skype, Slack) do not include audio in their recordings.
Why does this difference occur?
Is this behavior a security feature of iOS, and are there specific conditions required?
Is there a need for some sort of configuration in AVAudioSession?
additional :(
I also reached out to Apple Developer Technical Support, and they responded, "We were able to reproduce it, but since we don't understand the issue, we will investigate it."
What's that about...
