 # Unreleased
 
-- ALSA(process_output): pass `silent=true` to `PCM.try_recover`, so it doesn't write to stderr
-- WASAPI: Expose IMMDevice from WASAPI host Device.
+- ALSA(process_output): pass `silent=true` to `PCM.try_recover`, so it doesn't write to stderr.
 - CoreAudio: `Device::supported_configs` now returns a single element containing the available sample rate range when all elements have the same `mMinimum` and `mMaximum` values (which is the most common case).
+- iOS: Fix example by properly activating audio session.
+- WASAPI: Expose IMMDevice from WASAPI host Device.
