I seem to get this error while building my app on my emulator. I do not know what it the cause of it and it seems affecting my app which causes it my app to crash on the emulator.

Emulator: coreaudio: Could not lock voice for audioInputDeviceIOProc
Emulator: Reason: Invalid argument

Audio input in the Android emulator is not super reliable right now. Until it's fixed you can disable it with these steps:

  1. Launch “AVD Manager”

enter image description here

  1. On the crashing image, click the downward facing icon in the actions column and select “Show on Disk”

enter image description here

  1. In the folder that was opened should be a config.ini file, open it in your favorite text editor

enter image description here

  1. Change (or add) hw.audioInput=yes to hw.audioInput=no

enter image description here

  1. Save and close config.ini and relaunch that Android emulator image—it should now work without audio input errors

Sidenote: I had issues that are possibly related and also chose to add hw.audioOutput=no directly after hw.audioInput=no. You may want to try that if hw.audioInput=no doesn't solve it for you.
