Error message on ipad

What does "(com.apple.correaudio.avfaudio error-40.)" mean? It is popping up on my ipad while trying to record on Notability for grad school. It says to try and play music and when I do that works fine.

Thanks for the help!

iPad, iPadOS 14

Please Provide a Screenshot:

I do not see that error on the Web. A screenshot would most certainly help to research this. So, with the screenshot, drag the edges so that all that shows is the error window. Be certain to leave out personal info.
