# AudioHardwareUnload()

## Declaration

```swift
func AudioHardwareUnload() -> OSStatus
```

## Return Value

Return Value An OSStatus indicating success or failure.

## Discussion

Discussion When this routine is called, all IO on all devices within a process will be terminated and all resources capable of being released will be released. This routine essentially returns the HAL to its uninitialized state.
