+# Issue #741 Response - Audio codec properties not respected in release builds on iOS
+
+## Root Cause Found & Fixed!
+
+Thanks @felixspitzer for the detailed debugging logs! This confirms a **critical bug in the NitroModules nitrogen code generator**.
+
+### Debug vs Release Comparison
+
+| Property | Debug | Release |
+|----------|-------|---------|
+| `AVSampleRateKeyIOS` | `Optional(22050.0)` | `nil` |
+| `AVNumberOfChannelsKeyIOS` | `Optional(2.0)` | `Optional(5.0)` (wrong!) |
+| `AudioSamplingRate` | `Optional(22050.0)` | `Optional(-nan(0x30070002ade90))` |
+| `AudioChannels` | `Optional(2.0)` | `nil` |
+
+The values were being **corrupted or read incorrectly** in Release builds due to Swift compiler optimizations interacting badly with the C++ bridge code.
+
+## Technical Analysis
+
+Looking at the generated `nitrogen/generated/ios/swift/AudioSet.swift`, there was an inconsistency in how `std::optional` values are accessed:
+
+**Pattern A (problematic in Release):**
+```swift
+var AVSampleRateKeyIOS: Double? {
+    get {
+        return self.__AVSampleRateKeyIOS.value  // ❌ Corrupted in Release
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Pattern B (works correctly):**
+```swift
+var AudioSourceAndroid: AudioSourceAndroidType? {
+    get {
+        return self.__AudioSourceAndroid.has_value() ? self.__AudioSourceAndroid.pointee : nil  // ✅
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The `.value` accessor on `std::optional<double>` is not safe with Swift Release optimizations, while the explicit `has_value() ? .pointee : nil` pattern works correctly.
+
+## Fix Applied
+
+I've patched the generated `AudioSet.swift` file to use the safe pattern for all optional accessors. The following properties were fixed:
+
+- `AVModeIOS`
+- `AVEncodingOptionIOS`
+- `AVFormatIDKeyIOS`
+- `AVNumberOfChannelsKeyIOS`
+- `AVSampleRateKeyIOS`
+- `AudioQuality`
+- `AudioChannels`
+- `AudioSamplingRate`
+- `AudioEncodingBitRate`
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **This fix will be included in the next release** of react-native-nitro-sound
+2. I will also file an issue on the [NitroModules repository](https://github.com/mrousavy/nitro) to fix the code generator upstream
+
+## For Users Who Need an Immediate Fix
+
+If you can't wait for the next release, you can manually patch the file in your `node_modules`:
+
+Edit `node_modules/react-native-nitro-sound/nitrogen/generated/ios/swift/AudioSet.swift` and replace all instances of:
+
+```swift
+return self.__PropertyName.value
+```
+
+With:
+
+```swift
+return self.__PropertyName.has_value() ? self.__PropertyName.pointee : nil
+```
+
+Then run `pod install` again.
