I'm trying to write 16-bit interleaved 2-channel data captured from a LiveSwitch audio source to a AVAudioFile. The buffer and file formats match but I get a bad parameter error from the API. Does this API not support the specified format or is there some other issue?
Here is the debugger output.

This code handles the details of converting the Live Switch frame into an AVAudioPCMBuffer.
extension FMLiveSwitchAudioFrame {
func convertedToPCMBuffer() -> AVAudioPCMBuffer {
Self.convertToAVAudioPCMBuffer(from: self)!
}
static func convertToAVAudioPCMBuffer(from frame: FMLiveSwitchAudioFrame) -> AVAudioPCMBuffer? {
// Retrieve the audio buffer and format details from the FMLiveSwitchAudioFrame
guard
let buffer = frame.buffer(),
let format = buffer.format() as? FMLiveSwitchAudioFormat else { return nil }
// Extract PCM format details from FMLiveSwitchAudioFormat
let sampleRate = Double(format.clockRate())
let channelCount = AVAudioChannelCount(format.channelCount())
// Determine bytes per sample based on bit depth
let bitsPerSample = 16
let bytesPerSample = bitsPerSample / 8
let bytesPerFrame = bytesPerSample * Int(channelCount)
let frameLength = AVAudioFrameCount(Int(buffer.dataBuffer().length()) / bytesPerFrame)
// Create an AVAudioFormat from the FMLiveSwitchAudioFormat
guard let avAudioFormat = AVAudioFormat(commonFormat: .pcmFormatInt16, sampleRate: sampleRate, channels: channelCount, interleaved: true) else {
return nil
}
// Create an AudioBufferList to wrap the existing buffer
let audioBufferList = UnsafeMutablePointer<AudioBufferList>.allocate(capacity: 1)
audioBufferList.pointee.mNumberBuffers = 1
audioBufferList.pointee.mBuffers.mNumberChannels = channelCount
audioBufferList.pointee.mBuffers.mDataByteSize = UInt32(buffer.dataBuffer().length())
audioBufferList.pointee.mBuffers.mData = buffer.dataBuffer().data().mutableBytes // Directly use LiveSwitch buffer
// Transfer ownership of the buffer to AVAudioPCMBuffer
let pcmBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer(pcmFormat: avAudioFormat, bufferListNoCopy: audioBufferList) /* { buffer in
// Ensure the buffer is freed when AVAudioPCMBuffer is deallocated
buffer.deallocate() // Only call this if LiveSwitch allows manual deallocation
} */
pcmBuffer?.frameLength = frameLength
return pcmBuffer
}
}
This is the handler that is invoked with every frame in order to convert it for use with AVAudioFile and optionally update a scrolling signal display on the screen.
private func onRaisedFrame(obj: Any!) -> Void {
// Bail out early if no one is interested in the data.
guard isMonitoring else { return }
// Convert LS frame to AVAudioPCMBuffer (no-copy)
let frame = obj as! FMLiveSwitchAudioFrame
let buffer = frame.convertedToPCMBuffer()
// Hand subscribers a reference to the buffer for rendering to display.
bufferPublisher?.send(buffer)
// If we have and output file, store the data there, as well.
guard let audioFile = self.audioFile else { return }
do {
try audioFile.write(from: buffer) // FIXME: This call is throwing error -50
} catch {
FMLiveSwitchLog.error(withMessage: "Failed to write buffer to audio file at \(audioFile.url): \(error)")
self.audioFile = nil
}
}
This is how the audio file is being setup.
static var recordingFormat: AVAudioFormat = {
AVAudioFormat(commonFormat: .pcmFormatInt16, sampleRate: 44_100, channels: 2, interleaved: true)!
}()
let audioFile = try AVAudioFile(forWriting: outputURL, settings: Self.recordingFormat.settings)
