Add the non-interleaved flag here.

On my iPhone, can't look it up.

Ah. Thanks. I've posted a more recent follow up a couple of hours ago after I started to come to your conclusion.

Currently I'm generating non-interleaved audio (ie, two buffers), which is working fine with the RemoteIO unit. What's the best way for me to convert that to interleaved data for Extended Audio File Services? I don't want to be mallocing a new AudioBuffer in my render callback.

Could I instead have my RemoteIO use interleaved data? If I go that route, I'm not sure how I would set up the ASBD any differently.

Thanks

Stack trace says your buffer list is bogus.

You need to provide a buffer list with at least one buffer with interleaved samples.

Your mData would have a layout like this [LRLRLR...] where L and R are SInt16 each and LR constituted one frame.

The number of frames in your mData would match numFrames passed to ExtAudioFileWriteAsync.

Thanks Aran. You're doing it more or less the same way I am, and I've also now based mine on the example from Core Audio Public Utilities (CAAudioUnitOutputCapture) as it looks like you did.

I'm utterly at a loss here. I had some problems with my ASBDs which I've now fixed. If I use synchronous calls (for debugging) it still fails with a -50 on the recorder priming call, and still gives -50s on each write. If I use async calls then the priming call goes through fine, but the actual recording calls crash with the EXC_BAD_ACCESS as before.

Here are my ASBDs:

// Set desired audio output format

memset(&_outputASBD, 0, sizeof(_outputASBD));

_outputASBD.mSampleRate = 44100.0;

_outputASBD.mFormatID = kAudioFormatLinearPCM;

_outputASBD.mFormatFlags = kAudioFormatFlagIsSignedInteger | kAudioFormatFlagIsBigEndian | kAudioFormatFlagIsPacked;

_outputASBD.mBytesPerPacket = sizeof(AudioUnitSampleType);

_outputASBD.mBytesPerFrame = sizeof(AudioUnitSampleType);

_outputASBD.mFramesPerPacket = 1;

_outputASBD.mChannelsPerFrame = 2;

_outputASBD.mBitsPerChannel = 16;


// Set recording format
memset(&_fileASBD, 0, sizeof(_fileASBD));

_fileASBD.mSampleRate = 44100.00;

_fileASBD.mFormatID = kAudioFormatLinearPCM;

_fileASBD.mFormatFlags = kAudioFormatFlagIsSignedInteger | kAudioFormatFlagIsBigEndian | kAudioFormatFlagIsPacked;;

_fileASBD.mBytesPerPacket = sizeof(AudioUnitSampleType);

_fileASBD.mBytesPerFrame = sizeof(AudioUnitSampleType);

_fileASBD.mFramesPerPacket = 1;

_fileASBD.mChannelsPerFrame = 2;

_fileASBD.mBitsPerChannel = 16;

_isRecording = NO;

_recordedSamples = 0;

Here I set up the file:

CFURLRef urlRef = (__bridge CFURLRef) url;
  checkError(ExtAudioFileCreateWithURL(urlRef,

   kAudioFileCAFType,

   &_fileASBD,
   NULL,
   kAudioFileFlags_EraseFile,

   &_recFileRef),

   "ExtAudioFileCreateWithURL failed: creating file", false);

checkError(ExtAudioFileWriteAsync(_recFileRef,

0,
NULL),
   "ExtAudioFileWriteAsync failed: initializing write buffers", false);

Here I write to the file in my callback:

checkError(u failed", false);

And I get backtraces like this when I try to record:

* thread #8: tid = 0x2503, 0x34213a68 libsystem_c.dylib`memmove$VARIANT$CortexA9 + 168, stop reason = EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0)

The only other difference is that I'm now on the device itself.

Quite stuck now; I can usually muddle stuff out with a bit of Googling around but this has me stumped.

Thanks
