Click "During Inter-App Audio Recording"

Question

I am trying to record my input during an audio recording session between applications on iOS 9. The speaker output sounds great, but the recorded file has a rhythmic click. The waveform looks below ...

I changed the settings and options that I can think of, and nothing works.

Here are the format settings (stream settings are identical) ...

    AudioStreamBasicDescription fileFormat;
fileFormat.mSampleRate          = kSessionSampleRate;
fileFormat.mFormatID            = kAudioFormatLinearPCM;
fileFormat.mFormatFlags         = kAudioFormatFlagsNativeFloatPacked;
fileFormat.mFramesPerPacket     = 1;
fileFormat.mChannelsPerFrame    = 1;
fileFormat.mBitsPerChannel      = 32;       //tone is correct but there is still pops
fileFormat.mBytesPerPacket      = sizeof(Float32);
fileFormat.mBytesPerFrame       = sizeof(Float32);

Here are the stream settings ...

        //connect instrument to output
AudioComponentDescription componentDescription = unit.componentDescription;
AudioComponent inputComponent = AudioComponentFindNext(NULL, &componentDescription);
OSStatus status = AudioComponentInstanceNew(inputComponent, &_instrumentUnit);
NSLog(@"%d",status);
AudioUnitElement instrumentOutputBus = 0;
AudioUnitElement ioUnitInputElement = 0;

    //connect instrument unit to remoteIO output input bus
AudioUnitConnection connection;
connection.sourceAudioUnit = _instrumentUnit;
connection.sourceOutputNumber = instrumentOutputBus;
connection.destInputNumber = ioUnitInputElement;
status = AudioUnitSetProperty(_ioUnit,
                              kAudioUnitProperty_MakeConnection,
                              kAudioUnitScope_Output,
                              ioUnitInputElement,
                              &connection,
                              sizeof(connection));
NSLog(@"%d",status);
UInt32 maxFrames = 1024; //I tried setting this to 4096 but it did not help
status = AudioUnitSetProperty(_instrumentUnit,
                                kAudioUnitProperty_MaximumFramesPerSlice,
                                kAudioUnitScope_Output,
                                0,
                                &maxFrames,
                                sizeof(maxFrames));
NSLog(@"%d",status);



_connectedInstrument = YES;
_instrumentIconImageView.image = unit.icon;
NSLog(@"Remote Instrument connected");
status = AudioUnitInitialize(_ioUnit);
NSLog(@"%d",status);
status = AudioOutputUnitStart(_ioUnit);
NSLog(@"%d",status);
status = AudioUnitInitialize(_instrumentUnit);
NSLog(@"%d",status);
[self setupFile];

Here is my callback ...

static OSStatus recordingCallback(void                              *inRefCon,
                                 AudioUnitRenderActionFlags         *ioActionFlags,
                                 const AudioTimeStamp               *inTimeStamp,
                                 UInt32                             inBusNumber,
                                 UInt32                             inNumberFrames,
                                 AudioBufferList                    *ioData)
{
    ViewController* This = This = (__bridge ViewController *)inRefCon;
    if (inBusNumber == 0 && !(*ioActionFlags & kAudioUnitRenderAction_PostRenderError))
    {
            ExtAudioFileWriteAsync(This->fileRef, inNumberFrames, ioData);
    }

    return noErr;
}

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

You write the file before and after the render. In the render callback, change the if statement to only write to the message.

if (inBusNumber == 0 && *ioActionFlags == kAudioUnitRenderAction_PostRender){
    ExtAudioFileWriteAsync(This->fileRef, inNumberFrames, ioData);
} 

ExtAudioFileWriteAsync , , .

if (*ioActionFlags & kAudioUnitRenderAction_PostRender){
    static int TEMP_kAudioUnitRenderAction_PostRenderError = (1 << 8);
    if (!(*ioActionFlags & TEMP_kAudioUnitRenderAction_PostRenderError))
    { 
         ExtAudioFileWriteAsync(This->fileRef, inNumberFrames, ioData);
         //whichever additional code needed
         // { … }
    }
