Hello, I am an audio developer, currently using macOS version 14.1.1. I noticed that after disabling the microphone, the small yellow dot in the Control Center disappears immediately, but the one in the menu bar takes about 20 seconds to disappear. I tested the built-in Voice Memos app and found the same behavior. Our users may be concerned about their privacy being violated, even though the software is not using the microphone at that time. We believe this is a bug, and the microphone icon in the menu bar should disappear immediately after the microphone is no longer in use. Do you have plans to fix this issue in future versions? Additionally, is there any workaround for the current version? As a supplement, we are using CoreAudio API with AudioDeviceStart & AudioDeviceStop, not AudioUnit.

AudioComponentDescription desc = {kAudioUnitType_Output, kAudioUnitSubType_VoiceProcessingIO, kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple, 0, 0}; AudioComponent comp = AudioComponentFindNext(NULL, &desc); OSStatus error = AudioComponentInstanceNew(comp, &myAudioUnit);   In special case the returned error value is -1, I searched the https://www.osstatus.com/, but didn't get relevent info. my question is: what's the meanning of -1 in the case ? myAudioUnit is a nullptr this time ?

Hello, my app crashed on the new MacOS12.x system, it works well on MacOS 11 BigSur. I'm developing an audio app on MacOS using AudioUnit, it sometime crashed when i switch devices. the relevant api is: AudioUnitSetProperty(audio_unit, kAudioOutputUnitProperty_CurrentDevice, kAudioUnitScope_Global, kAudioUnitOutputBus, &rnd_id, sizeof(rnd_id)); it troubles me for month, i can't find the reason or any useful info, any help will be appreciate. the crash log is: OS Version:      macOS 12.1 (21C51) Report Version:    12 Bridge OS Version:  6.1 (19P647) Crashed Thread:    43 schedule-thread Exception Type:    EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes:   KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000a14f8969188 Exception Codes:   0x0000000000000001, 0x00000a14f8969188 Exception Note:    EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY Application Specific Information: objc_msgSend() selector name: copy Thread 43 Crashed:: schedule-thread 0 libobjc.A.dylib         0x7ff815ef405d objc_msgSend + 29 1 CoreAudio            0x7ff817a237b9 HALC_ShellDevice::_GetPropertyData(unsigned int, AudioObjectPropertyAddress const&, unsigned int, void const*, unsigned int, unsigned int&, void*, unsigned int&, AudioObjectPropertyAddress&, bool&) const + 1133 2 CoreAudio            0x7ff817c57b81 invocation function for block in HALC_ShellObject::GetPropertyData(unsigned int, AudioObjectPropertyAddress const&, unsigned int, void const*, unsigned int, unsigned int&, void*) const + 107 3 CoreAudio            0x7ff817e8a606 HALB_CommandGate::ExecuteCommand(void () block_pointer) const + 98 4 CoreAudio            0x7ff817c56a98 HALC_ShellObject::GetPropertyData(unsigned int, AudioObjectPropertyAddress const&, unsigned int, void const*, unsigned int, unsigned int&, void*) const + 376 5 CoreAudio            0x7ff817b04235 HAL_HardwarePlugIn_ObjectGetPropertyData(AudioHardwarePlugInInterface**, unsigned int, AudioObjectPropertyAddress const*, unsigned int, void const*, unsigned int*, void*) + 349 6 CoreAudio            0x7ff817c16109 HALPlugIn::ObjectGetPropertyData(HALObject const&, AudioObjectPropertyAddress const&, unsigned int, void const*, unsigned int&, void*) const + 59 7 CoreAudio            0x7ff817bd2f5d HALObject::GetPropertyData(AudioObjectPropertyAddress const&, unsigned int, void const*, unsigned int&, void*) const + 461 8 CoreAudio            0x7ff817f2ffca HALDevice::GetPropertyData(AudioObjectPropertyAddress const&, unsigned int, void const*, unsigned int&, void*) const + 644 9 CoreAudio            0x7ff8179809ab AudioObjectGetPropertyData + 275 10 AudioDSP              0x134b6df19 0x13490b000 + 2502425 11 AudioDSP              0x134b69776 0x13490b000 + 2484086 12 AudioDSP              0x134cc4eb4 0x13490b000 + 3907252 13 AudioDSP              0x134cc5f56 0x13490b000 + 3911510 14 AudioDSP              0x134e17b2c 0x13490b000 + 5294892 15 AudioDSP              0x134e0f4d1 0x13490b000 + 5260497
