We are using a VoiceProcessingIO audio unit in our VoIP application on Mac. In certain scenarios, the AudioComponentInstanceNew call blocks for up to five seconds (at least two). We are using the following code to initialize the audio unit:

OSStatus status;
AudioComponentDescription desc;
AudioComponent inputComponent;
desc.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Output;
desc.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_VoiceProcessingIO;
desc.componentFlags = 0;
desc.componentFlagsMask = 0;
desc.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple;
inputComponent = AudioComponentFindNext(NULL, &desc);
status = AudioComponentInstanceNew(inputComponent, &unit);

We are having the issue with current MacOS versions on a host of different Macs (x86 and x64 alike). It takes two to three seconds until AudioComponentInstanceNew returns.

We also see the following errors in the log multiple times:

AUVPAggregate.cpp:2560 AggInpStreamsChanged wait failed

and those right after (which I don't know if they matter to this issue):

KeystrokeSuppressorCore.cpp:44 ERROR: KeystrokeSuppressor initialization was unsuccessful. Invalid or no plist was provided. AU will be bypassed. vpStrategyManager.mm:486 Error code 2003332927 reported at GetPropertyInfo

I am also seeing this with the AVAudioEngine APIs.

@oliverpahl-mitel did you ever hear back from Apple on your feedback assistant post?

At runtime here are the errors that get dumped to console (I get the KeystrokeSuppressorCore.cpp:44 ERROR, but I don't see the AggInpStreamsChanged wait failed you are getting).

If I setup an input node with inputNode.setVoiceProcessingEnabled(true), here are the errors that get dumped to console:

For reference, if I switch inputNode.setVoiceProcessingEnabled(false) and keep all of my surrounding code the same, the following messages are dumped to console:
