I am trying to process audio data in real-time so that I can display an on-screen spectrum analyzer/visualization based on sound input from the microphone. I am using AVFoundation's AVCaptureAudioDataOutputSampleBufferDelegate to capture the audio data, which is triggering the delgate function captureOutput. Function below:
func captureOutput(_ output: AVCaptureOutput, didOutput sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer, from connection: AVCaptureConnection) {
autoreleasepool {
guard captureOutput != nil,
sampleBuffer != nil,
connection != nil,
CMSampleBufferDataIsReady(sampleBuffer) else { return }
//Check this is AUDIO (and not VIDEO) being received
if (connection.audioChannels.count > 0)
{
//Determine number of frames in buffer
var numFrames = CMSampleBufferGetNumSamples(s
