IsFormatSampleRateAndChannelCountValid false when playing outside audio

My app listens for verbal commands "Roll" & "Skip". It was working well until I used it while listening to a podcast in another app. I am getting a crash with the error: Thread 1: "required condition is false: IsFormatSampleRateAndChannelCountValid(format)" .

It crashes when I am playing audio from the apps Snipd (a podcast app) or the Apple Podcast app.

When I am playing audio from Youtube or the Apple Music it does not crash.

This is the code for when I start listening for the commands:

    // MARK: - Speech Recognition
    func startListening() {
        do {
            try configureAudioSession()
            createRecognitionRequest()
            try prepareAudioEngine()
        } catch {
            print("Audio Engine error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
        }
    }

    private func configureAudioSession() throws {
        let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
        try audioSession.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .measurement, options: [.interruptSpokenAudioAndMixWithOthers, .duckOthers])
        try audioSession.setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation)
    }
    
    private func createRecognitionRequest() {
        recognitionRequest = SFSpeechAudioBufferRecognitionRequest()
        guard let recognitionRequest = recognitionRequest else { return }

        recognitionRequest.shouldReportPartialResults = true
        recognitionTask = speechRecognizer?.recognitionTask(with: recognitionRequest, resultHandler: handleRecognitionResult)
    }
    
    private func prepareAudioEngine() throws {
        let inputNode = audioEngine.inputNode
        inputNode.removeTap(onBus: 0)

        let inputFormat = inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0)
        inputNode.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: 1024, format: inputFormat) { [weak self] (buffer, _) in
            self?.recognitionRequest?.append(buffer)
        }
        audioEngine.prepare()
        try audioEngine.start()
        isActuallyListening = true
    }

Thanks
