@julestburt , having same issue as well. @T2Je , have you been able to find any solutions? Thanks

@spiresweet Actually, I don't figure out why setting 6 channels for the kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC_HE format to AVAssetWriterInput outputSettings caused the crash.
I found this problem when I was doing video compression, but I never found a solution to deal with this 6-channel video, then I directly set channels to 2, format to kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC, and set the outputSettings of the video's AVAssetReaderTrackOutput to channel 2, not to consider the multi-channel problem, and then it did not crash.
Here is my video compressor project, hope it helps.
