# status

The status of the audio renderer.

```
var status: AVQueuedSampleBufferRenderingStatus { get }
```

## Discussion

A renderer begins with a status of [`AVQueuedSampleBufferRenderingStatus.unknown`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVQueuedSampleBufferRenderingStatus/unknown). As you add sample buffers to the queue for rendering, the renderer transitions to either [`AVQueuedSampleBufferRenderingStatus.rendering`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVQueuedSampleBufferRenderingStatus/rendering) or [`AVQueuedSampleBufferRenderingStatus.failed`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVQueuedSampleBufferRenderingStatus/failed).

If the status is `AVQueuedSampleBufferRenderingStatus.failed`, check the value of the renderer’s error property for information on the error encountered. This property is key value observable.
