We are experiencing an exception in our project:

Examining the common gotchas video I see a similar exception being thrown, required condition is false: !nodeMixerConns.empty() && !hasDirectConnToIONode, which is caused by allowing the variables to go out of scope rather than be retained in the class.

So this occurs when we create an AKPlayer, which is retained in a class, then we create an AKTimePitch with this player which is also retained in that class, and finally assign that to AudioKit.output which triggers the exception. After that we were storing the class that holds onto the player and time pitch in an array, so I tried to move this up after it's created in hopes that was the issue, but I see the same exception.

Interestingly, this code works fine initially when we load up the first song but crashes when we hit the next button to load up the next song.

final class Maestro : NSObject {
    static let shared = Maestro()

    var audioPlayers = [TrackPlayer]()

    func setUpTrackPlayers(fileURL: URL) {
        let playerOne = TrackPlayer(url: fileURL)
        audioPlayers.append(playerOne)

        AudioKit.output = playerOne.handleMixerChain() //boom

        do {
            try AudioKit.start()
        } catch {
            print("Maestro AudioKit.start error: \(error)")
        }
    }

    func next() {
        for player in audioPlayers {
            player.stop()
        }
        audioPlayers.removeAll()

        setUpTrackPlayers(fileURL: newSong.getFileUrl())
    }
}

final class TrackPlayer {
    let player : AKPlayer
    lazy var timePitch = AKTimePitch()

    init(url: URL) {
        player = AKPlayer(url: url)!
    }

    func handleMixerChain(pitch: Double = 0.0, tempo: Double = 1.0) -> AKTimePitch {
        timePitch = AKTimePitch(player)
        timePitch.pitch = pitch
        timePitch.rate = tempo
        return timePitch
    }
}

Any ideas? If you need any more info let me know. May be good to note we are updating from AudioKit 4.5.5 where we didn't experience this crash.

Its been a while that no one has responded to this issue. I wonder if you either figured it out or if you could provide a sample project link on Github that exhibits this bug. Thanks.Equanimity
@AureliusProchazka I've created a sample project here: github.com/jordanhbuiltbyhq/SamplePlayer To reproduce, pod install then run app and tap the Next button. Thanks!!Anthropolatry
Sorry I didn't notice this before but it looks like you're trying to start AudioKit even though its already started. Could that be the issue?Equanimity

I've opened the project and it seems like you're being a bit too relaxed about your set up / tear down of the signal chain. You're setting up AudioKit's output using local variables, never tearing down this signal chain, and then coming back resetting the AudioKit output and telling AudioKit to start without ever calling AudioKit.stop().

Thank you! Tearing down via AudioKit.stop() before modifying the output resolved it.Anthropolatry
