How to get array of float audio data from AudioQueueRef in iOS?

Question

I\'m working on getting audio into the iPhone in a form where I can pass it to a (C++) analysis algorithm. There are, of course, many options: the AudioQueue tutorial at tra

The above solution did not work for me, I was getting the wrong sample data itself.(an endian issue) If incase someone is getting wrong sample data in future, I hope this helps you :

-(void)feedSamplesToEngine:(UInt32)audioDataBytesCapacity audioData:(void *)audioData { int sampleCount = audioDataBytesCapacity / sizeof(SAMPLE_TYPE);

SAMPLE_TYPE *samples = (SAMPLE_TYPE*)audioData;
//SAMPLE_TYPE *sample_le = (SAMPLE_TYPE *)malloc(sizeof(SAMPLE_TYPE)*sampleCount );//for swapping endians

std::string shorts;
double power = pow(2,10);
for(int i = 0; i < sampleCount; i++)
{
    SAMPLE_TYPE sample_le =  (0xff00 & (samples[i] << 8)) | (0x00ff & (samples[i] >> 8)) ; //Endianess issue
    char dataInterim[30];
    sprintf(dataInterim,"%f ", sample_le/power); // normalize it.
    shorts.append(dataInterim);
}
