Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue where audio interruptions (e.g., phone calls) are not being intercepted while running sound classification in an app that uses the AVAudioSession. Classification works fine, but interruptions aren’t handled, even though I’ve followed Apple’s guidelines on handling audio interruptions [1_Document]. The classification was initially based on [2_Classifer], where it worked perfectly. However, when I adopted classification in a more camera-focused app using [3_Cam], the interruption behavior stopped working. The classification setup is functioning with [3_Cam], but audio interruptions are not triggered. The listener is invoked before starting sound analysis as suggested in [2_Classifier]. startListeningForAudioSessionInterruptions() try startAnalyzing([(request, observer)]) FYI, one change I have made for classifications is following. This works fine in all cases. // try audioSession.setCategory(.record, mode: .default) try audioSession.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .default, options: [.defaultToSpeaker, .allowBluetooth]) I suspect the issue might be related to the AVAudioSession configuration or how the app handles recording and playback together. Is there anything else I should check related to AVAudioSession? Are there additional APIs I could use to pre-check or better handle audio interruptions? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Platform: Swift 5, Xcode 16, iOS 18. References: Document Classifier Cam Best Regards

Here is the demo from Apple's site This issues is specific to iOS 18. When running this demo, we are getting new text when we have a gap in speaking, the recognitionTask(with:resultHandler:) provides new text which is only spoken after the gap and not the concatenation of old text and the new spoken text.

I have an intra-**** video device that's supported by Apple's AVCaptureDevice. I can use the AV classes to connect to the device and get video. However, this device has a button that's used to acquire still images from the video stream. I can't use the IOUSBDeviceInterface to do an asynchronous read, because the Apple driver has the device opened exclusively. How do I go about receiving the button event in this scenario? I know which pipe to read, based on a bus analyzer when I run this on Windows, I just need to know how to access that pipe when the device is opened by another process.

Hi all,  Apple dropping on-going development for FireWire devices that were supported with the Core Audio driver standard is a catastrophe for a lot of struggling musicians who need to both keep up to date on security updates that come with new OS releases, and continue to utilise their hard earned investments in very expensive and still pristine audio devices that have been reduced to e-waste by Apple's seemingly tone-deaf ignorance in the cries for on-going support.  I have one of said audio devices, and I'd like to keep using it while keeping my 2019 Intel Mac Book Pro up to date with the latest security updates and OS features.  Probably not the first time you gurus have had someone make the logical leap leading to a request for something like this, but I was wondering if it might be somehow possible of shoe-horning the code used in previous versions of Mac OS that allowed the Mac to speak with the audio features of such devices to run inside the Ventura version of the OS.  Would it possible? Would it involve a lot of work? I don't think I'd be the only person willing to pay for a third party application or utility that restored this functionality. There has to be 100's of thousands of people who would be happy to spare some cash to stop their multi-thousand dollar investment in gear to be so thoughtlessly resigned to the scrap heap.  Any comments or layman-friendly explanations as to why this couldn’t happen would be gratefully received!  Thanks,  em

I have a USB audio interface that is causing kernel traps and the audio output to "skip" or dropout every few seconds. This behavior occurs with a completely fresh install of Catalina as well as Big Sur with the stock Music app on a 2019 MacBook Pro 16 (full specs below). The Console logs show coreaudiod got an error from a kernel trap, a "USB Sound assertion" in AppleUSBAudio/AppleUSBAudio-401.4/KEXT/AppleUSBAudioDevice.cpp at line 6644, and the Music app "skipping cycle due to overload." I've added a short snippet from Console logs around the time of the audio skip/drop out. The more complete logs are at this gist: https://gist.github.com/djflux/08d9007e2146884e6df1741770de5105 I've also opened a Feedback Assistant ticket (FB9037528): https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/9037528 Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Flux aka Andy.

Hi! I have an AVAudioSequencer with some AVMusicTracks that are filled with AVParameterEvents. If I toggle the isMuted property of a track, it will instantly mute when changed to true. However, after turning the muting to false, the events will only triggers on the next round of a loop and not instantly. Is this intended behaviour, and is there some way to get the events to trigger immediately after toggling the isMuted to be false?

After updating iOS18.1 Beta Version, I have a lot of issues with my Apple Car Play as per following. Audio Quality Really Bad (it’s not playing with media instead voice channel. Sometime, it’s playing with the phone speakers even though I have connected the car play via cable. Its not operating well with car steering control such as Volume up & down, skip button. After receiving the phone call, it’s go back to the original audio quality but when my phone screen locked, its go bad again. I expect to fix these problems asap as I love to play music when I drive around.

Hello, We have noticed an issue with SoundRecognition that causes glitching with our AudioUnit setup in Smule. Input and output frame sizes are inconsistent. Input frame size does not match [AVAudioSession sharedInstance].IOBufferDuration My best guess is that SoundRecognition influences the input frame size and not the output frame size. To reproduce use the example app here: https://github.com/MarkoGill/SoundRecognitionBug Hardware/OS iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 18 -> Experiences the problem iPhone 11 on iOS 18 -> Experiences the problem iPhone 15 on iOS 18 -> Not experiencing the problem Reproduction Steps Enable Sound Recognition (Settings > Accessibility > Sound Recognition > On) Enable a Sound for detection (Sounds > Dog > On) Open the example app with headset (it routes input to output) Notice glitching occurs Check the logs. Record and Playback buffer sizes vary Example Log: AU input sample rate: 48000.000000 AU output sample rate: 48000.000000 hardware sample rate: 48000.000000 hardware buffer size: 1104.000000 updated record frame counts: 1024 updated playback frame counts: 1104 Notes: You can disable Sound Recognition, restart the app, and playback behaves correctly.

Hi, I am writing to seek any help or workaround regarding an issue I have encountered while implementing Low-Latency HLS playback using the AVAssetResourceLoaderDelegate. I have been successfully loading playlists during HLS live playback using the AVAssetResourceLoaderDelegate. However, after introducing Low-Latency HLS, I have run into a problem. When the AVPlayer loads low-latency content playback natively, everything works fine. But when I use the delegate for loading, I encounter the following error from AVPlayer's status observer: CoreMediaErrorDomain -15410 Low Latency: Server must support http2 ECN and SACK It seems there is no problem since playback does not stop, but there is a very critical part missing. The playback does not achieve the expected low latency and behaves similarly to standard HLS. Additionally, this behavior only occurs on iOS 16 devices and simulators. On iOS 17 simulators and devices, the error message does not appear, and the latency remains low as expected. Therefore, I suspect that there might be some misjudgment in the verification process within the internal implementation of AVPlayer. Since our app needs to support iOS 16, I would appreciate any solutions, methods to try, or workarounds that you could share regarding this issue. Thank you.

I want to detect when the Hardware Camer control button is pressed/interacted in the iPhone 16 Does Apple provide any API to detect the Hardware Camera control button in iPhone 16?

I have 14 pro max after update 18, sound problem in AirPods I can’t hear proper sound, I am a Pubg gamer after update I can’t hear right left front back sound anyone help me please

I have an app that plays sound files stored locally. I'm using a single SwiftUI view with a MPVolumeView so the user can control system volume from the player in my app. When I'm playing the sound file on the iPhone, my volume slider operates as expected. When I AirPlay to my AppleTV, the volume slider still works to control the volume, but when I hit play in my app, the volume snaps to a different value, but actual sound volume doesn't change. Control still works. Flipping to control center, I see a volume mismatch between system volume and the MPVolumeView. Here's the code that I use to put the slider in my app. struct VolumeSlider: UIViewRepresentable { func makeUIView(context: Context) -> MPVolumeView { let vv = MPVolumeView(frame: .zero) vv.showsVolumeSlider = true vv.setVolumeThumbImage(UIImage() ,for: UIControl.State.normal) return vv } func updateUIView(_ uiView: MPVolumeView, context: Context) { // No need to update the view in this case } } I'm using AVFoundation and AVAudioPlayer to playback the sound file. I'm using MediaPlayer to tell MPNowPlayingInfoCenter the track info and AlbumArt. Audio control via control center works perfectly. Does the same if I target iOS 16 or 17. Is this a bug with the MPVolumeView or the way I added it to the app?

Am a musician/DJ. Jumped from 14 Pro Max iOS 17 to 16 Pro Max iOS 18.1 b4. For each audio source(music app/yt music etc.) same track/eq/volume compared side by side. With the new device, overall it's a bit muffled and damping music when highs and lows are mixed. Most noticeable when listening to high vocals and acoustic instruments. Drum and bass sound much like on an old Nokia. On 14 Pro it's nothing like that. Thank you

Hello. In my app I have selection of photos and videos and also selection of PDF So I use PHPickerViewController for picking photos and videos and UIDocumentPickerViewController for picking documents. I found out that there's not documentPickerWasCancelled in PHPickerViewController delegate. So when a user presses Cancel, delegate's picker function fires the dialog is dismissed and system return a selected value of nil. But when I swipe the dialog down no event is generated so in my app I can't understand whether a user selected a photo or cancelled the dialog. In UIDocumentPickerViewController there's no such problems as it have didCancel as a separate funciton Is there any way to bypass this this?

I've been using CGWindowListCreateImage which automatically creates an image with the size of the captured window. But SCScreenshotManager.captureImage(contentFilter:configuration:) always creates images with the width and height specified in the provided SCStreamConfiguration. I could be setting the size explicitly by reading SCWindow.frame or SCContentFilter.contentRect and multiplying the width and height by SCContentFilter.pointPixelScale , but it won't work if I want to keep the window shadow with SCStreamConfiguration.ignoreShadowsSingleWindow = false. Is there a way and what's the best way to take full-resolution screenshots of the correct size? import Cocoa import ScreenCaptureKit class ViewController: NSViewController { @IBOutlet weak var imageView: NSImageView! override func viewDidAppear() { imageView.imageScaling = .scaleProportionallyUpOrDown view.wantsLayer = true view.layer!.backgroundColor = .init(red: 1, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 1) Task { let windows = try await SCShareableContent.excludingDesktopWindows(false, onScreenWindowsOnly: true).windows let window = windows[0] let filter = SCContentFilter(desktopIndependentWindow: window) let configuration = SCStreamConfiguration() configuration.ignoreShadowsSingleWindow = false configuration.showsCursor = false configuration.width = Int(Float(filter.contentRect.width) * filter.pointPixelScale) configuration.height = Int(Float(filter.contentRect.height) * filter.pointPixelScale) print(filter.contentRect) let windowImage = try await SCScreenshotManager.captureImage(contentFilter: filter, configuration: configuration) imageView.image = NSImage(cgImage: windowImage, size: CGSize(width: windowImage.width, height: windowImage.height)) } } }

I have using the Destination Video sample project as a template to recreate a similar project. I have been able to update all text and images but when I go to change out the videos, it still plays the old videos. If I rename the new video to the old video name, the new video appears. Problem is, there are only two videos that repeat on different links. But changing the URLs in SampleData.swift to the new file path does not work. Any suggestions on how to replace a video with a newly imported asset? Here is an example of the code.

I am trying to play HLS videos on my iPhone app and I see frequent glitch on the video, it is not happening with MP4. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lhdpHTyjPYCYLHjzvb6ZF6P6jehIuwY0/view?usp=sharing.

We have observed consistent glitches in video playback when using AVPlayer to stream HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) videos on iOS. The issue manifests as intermittent frame drops, stuttering, and playback instability during HLS streams. However, the same behavior is not present when playing MP4 videos using the same AVPlayer instance. The HLS streams being used follow standard encoding practices, and network conditions have been ruled out as a cause for this problem. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lhdpHTyjPYCYLHjzvb6ZF6P6jehIuwY0/view?usp=sharing Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load an HLS video into AVPlayer and initiate playback. 2. Observe intermittent glitches and stuttering during video playback. 3. Load and play an MP4 video in the same AVPlayer instance. 4. Notice that MP4 playback is smooth without any glitches.

Hello, As explained in this link, the AVAssetReaderTrackOutput.copyNextSampleBuffer() returns a CMSampleBuffer in linear PCM audio format. I want to place this audio buffer into an AVAssetWriterInput of type kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC, but I can't manage the conversion. Could you help me by providing an extension that returns a CMSampleBuffer converted from linear PCM audio format to kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC? Example: extension CMSampleBuffer { func fromPCMToAAC() -> CMSampleBuffer? { // Here, get a new AudioStreamBasicDescription, create a CMSampleBuffer and a CMBlockBuffer } } I've tried multiple times but without success. Software: iOS 18.1 XCode: 16.0 Thank you!
