Get audio channel's average and peak RMS power

ref : http://www.iwillapps.com/wordpress/?p=119

setp1:

UInt32 enabledLevelMeter = true; AudioQueueSetProperty(queue,kAudioQueueProperty_EnableLevelMetering,&enabledLevelMeter,sizeof(UInt32)); 

step2:

UInt32 data_sz = sizeof(AudioQueueLevelMeterState); OSErr status = AudioQueueGetPropertySize(_aq, kAudioQueueProperty_CurrentLevelMeterDB, &data_sz); if (status != noErr) goto bail; status = AudioQueueGetProperty(_aq, kAudioQueueProperty_CurrentLevelMeterDB, _chan_lvls, &data_sz); if (status != noErr && status != -50) goto bail;  

 

Notes:

For single channel, AudioQueueGetProperty(_aq, kAudioQueueProperty_CurrentLevelMeterDB, _chan_lvls, &data_sz) will return error code -50.

 

AudioQueueLevelMeterState *_chan_lvls;

AudioQueueLevelMeterState

Specifies the current level metering information for one channel of an audio queue..

typedef struct AudioQueueLevelMeterState {
Float32     mAveragePower;
Float32     mPeakPower;
};  AudioQueueLevelMeterState;

Fields

mAveragePower

The audio channel's average RMS power. ( -60.0 , 0.0)

mPeakPower

The audio channel's peak RMS power. ( -60.0 , 0.0)
