## Declaration

```swift
var kAudioFormatProperty_ChannelLayoutForTag: AudioFormatPropertyID { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The channel descriptions for a standard channel layout. Set the inSpecifier parameter to an AudioChannelLayoutTag value (the mChannelLayoutTag field of the AudioChannelLayout structure) containing the layout constant. The value is an AudioChannelLayout structure. In typical use, an AudioChannelLayout can be valid with just a defined AudioChannelLayoutTag (that is, those layouts have predefined speaker locations and orderings). Returns an error if the tag is kAudioChannelLayoutTag_UseChannelBitmap.
