-10868 is kAudioUnitErr_FormatNotSupported

Found this in my notes, I don’t know if it came from documentation or perusing Apple’s .h files. The macerror command doesn’t seem to know about it.

Subject: avfoundation “error -10868”

I am in the process of converting an old existing project to use AVFoundation APIs. I have two goals

1) Read the data into a Int16, interleaved format buffer

2) Manipulate the data in the buffer directly (not realtime)

In testing, I found that I am getting “error -10868”, however I haven’t been able to figure out what is wrong.

The buffer is created, there is no error but I am unable to play the audio. How do I overcome this issue?

My second question is how do I access the buffer directly or more specifically the stereo channels. When I was using CoreAudio APIs (pre-Swift), I understood but now I’m lost. In coreaudio, I previously used an interleaved buffer. Would someone be kind enough to show me how I could access the channels in both interleaved and non-interleaved.

My test input file is an Apple Lossless Compression file if that matters.

Thank you,

Test result
