No problem.

If I don't call the set element count API, I do get an error when trying to connect to the input, so that's not the issue here. However, I can't hear anything from any input greater than 7.

Anyone else may have a clue?

Thanks!

I don't have it handy, but the thing I was testing to see if I could change the kAudioUnitProperty_ElementCount after it was initialized, I was able to update the property while audio was being produced. Maybe try initializing first. Also, I wasn't using an AUGraph, not sure if that changes anything.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your response. We call that API before connecting anything to the mixer:

err = AudioUnitSetProperty(mMixer, kAudioUnitProperty_ElementCount, kAudioUnitScope_Input, 0, &numbuses, sizeof(numbuses));

if (err) {

NSLog(@"Error - initializeAUGraph - AudioUnitSetProperty - kAudioUnitProperty_ElementCount - error:%d", err);

return false;

}

We are compiling with target SDK 10.6 (I'm not sure that makes any difference but we need backward compatibility).

It's interesting you mentioned you've used it with 100 for a test and that worked. Do you happen to have that test handy so I can give it a try?

Thanks

Marcelo

For kAudioUnitSubType_MultiChannelMixer you have to set the channel count before using any more than eight. I've used 100 for a test and it was smooth sailing.

UInt32 channelCount = 16;

AudioUnitSetProperty(mixerUnit , kAudioUnitProperty_ElementCount, kAudioUnitScope_Input, 0, &channelCount, sizeof(channelCount));

Hi all,

I wonder if there's any limit to the number of input buses a kAudioUnitType_Mixer can use. I empirically found that buses higher than ~8 are discarded. That means that I can mix up to 7 inputs but the 8th and higher are silent in the output mix.

I tried with kAudioUnitSubType_MultiChannelMixer, kAudioUnitSubType_StereoMixer and kAudioUnitSubType_3DMixer sub-types. All input buses are set to mono 44100hz and the mixer output is stereo.

I got the same behavior regardless whether I connected other nodes to the mixer input buses or using render input callbacks.

We are calling setting setting the kAudioUnitProperty_ElementCount property with the right value (e.g. 11 buses).

Does anyone have an idea of what's going on? I was thinking about using N number of mixers and connecting them to a master mix but that sounds like a hack to me and I'd love to understand what's going on first.

Thanks

Marcelo
