# AudioQueueDispose(_:_:)

Disposes of an audio queue.

```
func AudioQueueDispose(_ inAQ: AudioQueueRef, _ inImmediate: Bool) -> OSStatus
```

## Parameters

`inAQ`

The audio queue you want to dispose of.

`inImmediate`

If you pass `true`, the audio queue is disposed of immediately (that is, synchronously). If you pass `false`, disposal does not take place until all enqueued buffers are processed (that is, asynchronously).

## Return Value

A result code. See Result Codes.

## Discussion

Disposing of an audio queue also disposes of its resources, including its buffers. After you call this function, you can no longer interact with the audio queue. In addition, the audio queue no longer invokes any callbacks.

## See Also

[`AudioQueueFlush(_:)`](/documentation/AudioToolbox/AudioQueueFlush(_:))

Resets an audio queue’s decoder state.
