It works fine here. Eg:

=== begin code ===

type
  TArFloat = array of cfloat;

function array_in_out(arrayin: TArFloat): TArFloat;
var
  i: byte;
begin
  for i := low(arrayin) to high(arrayin) do
    arrayin[i] *= 10;
  Result := arrayin;
end;

...

var
  item: cfloat;
  thebuffer: TArFloat;
begin
  SetLength(thebuffer, 3);
  thebuffer[0] := 1;
  thebuffer[1] := 2;
  thebuffer[2] := 3;
  WriteLn('before');
  for item in thebuffer do
    WriteLn(item.ToString);
  thebuffer := array_in_out(thebuffer);
  WriteLn('after x10');
  for item in thebuffer do
    WriteLn(item.ToString);
end;

// output:

before
1
2
3
after x10
10
20
30

=== end code ===

Are you using that function as callback with some (C/C++) library? If so,
check its parameter calling convention, declaring it as `function
array_in_out(arrayin: TArFloat): TArFloat; cdecl;`.
