Swifty Sound is a simple library that lets you play sounds with a single line of code.

Swifty Sound

Overview

Swifty Sound is a simple library that lets you deal with Swift sounds easily.

Static methods

Sound.play(file: "dog.wav")

Sound.play(url: fileURL)

More advanced example:

Sound.play(file: "dog", fileExtension: "wav", numberOfLoops: 3)

The above will play the sound three times.

Specify a negative number of loops to play the sound continously in an intinite loop:

Sound.play(file: "dog", fileExtension: "wav", numberOfLoops: -1)

Stop currently playing sounds:

Sound.stopAll()

Enable/disable all sounds:

Sound.enabled = true
Sound.enabled = false

The value of Sound.enabled property will be automatically persisted in UserDefaults and restored on the next launch of your app.

Change sound categories. SwiftySound provides a simple way of changing sound category:

Sound.category = .ambient

This changes the category of the underlying shared AVAudioSession instance. The default value is SoundCategory.ambient. Due to AVAudioSession architecture, this property is not available on macOS.

Creating instances of Sound class

You can also create an instance of a Sound class and store it somewhere in your app.

let sound = Sound(url: fileURL)
sound.play()

Installation

Installation with CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries in your projects. See the Get Started section for more details.

Podfile

platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'SwiftySound'

Installation with Carthage

Carthage is a lightweight dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C. It leverages CocoaTouch modules and is less invasive than CocoaPods.

To install with carthage, follow the instruction on Carthage

Cartfile

github "adamcichy/SwiftySound"

Manual installation

Drop the Sound.swift file into your project, link against AVFoundation.framework and you are ready to go.
