Instance Method

setPreferredInput(_:)

Sets the preferred input port for audio routing.

Declaration

func setPreferredInput(_ inPort: AVAudioSessionPortDescription?) throws

Parameters

inPort

An AVAudioSessionPortDescription object describing the port to use for input.

Return Value

true if a request was successfully made, or false otherwise.

Discussion

Setting the preferred input port requests a change to the input audio route. To determine whether the change takes effect, use the currentRoute property.

The value of the inPort parameter must be one of the AVAudioSessionPortDescription objects in the availableInputs array. If this parameter specifies a port that is not already part of the current audio route and the app’s session controls audio routing, this method initiates a route change to use the preferred port.

You must set a preferred input port only after setting the audio session’s category and mode and activating the session.
