Add below code between beginConfiguration() and commitConfiguration()

// Add audio device to the recording

let audioDevice = AVCaptureDevice.defaultDeviceWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio)
do {
    let audioInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: audioDevice)
    self.captureSession.addInput(audioInput)
} catch {
    print("Unable to add audio device to the recording.")
}

in swift 5x, you can use this:

do {
        guard let audioDevice = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: AVMediaType.audio) else {
            print("Default audio device is unavailable.")
            setupResult = .configurationFailed
            session.commitConfiguration()
            return
        }

        // Add audio input
        let audioInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: audioDevice)
        if session.canAddInput(audioInput) {
            session.addInput(audioInput)
        } else {
            print("Couldn't add audio device input to the session.")
            setupResult = .configurationFailed
            session.commitConfiguration()
            return
        }

    } catch {
        print("Couldn't create Audio device input: \(error)")
        setupResult = .configurationFailed
        session.commitConfiguration()
        return
    }

You have not included the audio device:

AVCaptureDevice *audioDevice = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio];
AVCaptureDeviceInput * audioInput = [AVCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice:audioDevice error:nil];
[session addInput:audioInput]

between beginConfiguration and commitConfiguration. It'll work!!!
