GeneralParamError from InputAudioQueue.Start()

Question

 var bytesPerFrame = 1 * sizeof(short);
 var description = new AudioStreamBasicDescription()
 {
     Format = AudioFormatType.LinearPCM,
     SampleRate = 16000,
     ChannelsPerFrame = 1,
     BitsPerChannel = 16,
     FormatFlags = AudioFormatFlags.LinearPCMIsSignedInteger | AudioFormatFlags.LinearPCMIsPacked,
     FramesPerPacket = 1,
     BytesPerPacket = bytesPerFrame,
     BytesPerFrame = bytesPerFrame,
     Reserved = 0
 };

 InputAudioQueue _inputAudioQueue = new InputAudioQueue(description);
_inputAudioQueue.InputCompleted += OnInputCompleted;

AudioQueueStatus status;
try
{
    status = _inputAudioQueue.Start();
    if (status != AudioQueueStatus.Ok)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("Input audio queue did not start");
    }
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    ...
}

I have a .NET Maui project, and I've simplified the code around InputAudioQueue to what I have above. When the Start() method is called on the _inputAudioQueue object, I occasionally get a AudioQueueStatus.GeneralParamError back as the response.

I would appreciate any help / insights as to why this issue might be occurring.
Thank you.

EDIT:
Dotnet version: 8

Frequency of occurrence : This only happens about 5% of the time, it works well for the remaining 95% of the time.
I don't have any idea how to reproduce, and it just seems random to me.
Also I have a loop that retries the Start every 5 seconds, but once the error starts, it will keep happening on every retry.
If I close the app and try again, it can either still have the issue, or the error just goes away for a long time, which is why I originally said it happens "occasionally".
It is very random.

Is there a way to get more details when the failure occurs, instead of just the enum ? as that would help me further investigate too.
There's very little documentation on the enum responses.

Answer 1

I forgot I asked this question here, apologies. I was able to figure this out eventually, turns out another thread that started an instance of the audioqueue wasn't disposed properly, and I get that error when the new one tries to start another audioqueue. Thank you all for your help and response.
