When my device is muted, the sounds still play for a second and then stops. Any suggestions how to stop that. Thanks

example sound URL here : http://stream7.cache70.vcdn.vn/fsfsdfdsfdserwrwq3/605024dfabd67716e0bedd538d9b29ba/5567f356/2015/04/25/1/6/167fc5d627166e755e745e9f5941f40e.mp3
I Can not play this !

Hi,

I want to play a theme music on my iOS game using the following : [[SoundManager sharedManager] playMusic:kThemeSound looping:YES];

It is working well except that there is a gap (a small silence) when the sound is looping. I tried the sound in iTunes, there is no gap when looping.

Is there a way to fix this ?

Thanks,
Martin

As a standard practice, the SoundManager should have a 3-letter prefix. The effects of NOT having this were once again made clear to me when my linker failed because there was another third-party library that also had a class called SoundManager. My code won't run until this is fixed.

This seems to be unhandled situation, or maybe I am not aware of some features which handle this situation...When app returns from background, music is stopped, and I can't resume it.

I am guessing that this is related to AVAudioSession...

@nicklockwood Do you have some idea how to handle this and make music continue from where it is stopped (or at least to start it from beginning) ?

This can be produced by simply running your sample project -> play music -> receive phone-call (so I am sure that is nothing wrong with my code, because I use your sample app).

Any thoughts ?

Best Regards,

Vladimir

Started working with Sound Manager this morning, and when running in the iOS Simulator (8.3, 8.4 and 9.0), a fatal crash is experienced on this line:
[[SoundManager sharedManager] prepareToPlay];

I am calling with

 [SoundManager sharedManager].allowsBackgroundMusic  = YES;
 [SoundManager sharedManager].soundFadeDuration      = 1.0f;
 [[SoundManager sharedManager] prepareToPlay];

Crash is also occurring with
[[SoundManager sharedManager] prepareToPlayWithSound:[Sound soundNamed:kSISoundFXInitalize]];

For some songs i am not able to play. Getting one error message if i pass the error in this method - (Sound *)initWithContentsOfURL:(NSURL *)URL. and the error is " Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=1685348671 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 1685348671.)"". I am using MAC osx 10.7 and X-code 4.6.3. and the same project is working fine in MAC OSX 10.8.

Hello nick,

any chance for a pause functionality (or a clue on how to do it)?

or am i failling at finding a way to do so?

many thnx for the awesome job!

Local disk caching,
user only needs to stream a file once and after that it can be played from a local cache

Can SoundManager play sound from url on the internet, can you show me how to do this

is there any easy way to add a pause functionality to PlayMusic?
It can be sometimes essential to be able to pause a music that's playing and resume it later on at the same timing we paused it.

I've got a music loop on the main viewController with a sound button to control turning the music on/off;

• (IBAction)controlMusic:(id)sender {
  if ([SoundManager sharedManager].playingMusic)
  {
  [[SoundManager sharedManager] stopMusic];
  }
  else
  {
  [self playMusic];
  }
  }

I stop the music on the primary viewController [music fades out and stops] and press another button to load a tableView controller. I drill down through the tableView into a detailTableView and so far so good, no music. However I then click on a button within the detailTableView to push up a different viewController and the music starts up again. Any idea why that's happening?

Thanks so much for making your wonderful class available to use,
its amazing and very convenient!

I had a little problem with the array deleting sounds while enumerating,
( the sound clips are narration played over BG music so are longer than a sound effect, maybe thats the problem...)

being super new to coding ill add my solution (it wont be as elegant as your code)
but maybe it will help someone, or at least make you aware of the issue

hope I did the right thing! - it dosnt seem to crash anymore

with many thanks

When i make the playing screen, i register the remote control event, i tap on the home to send app the back ground lock the screen.
Now i tap to Home, i can see the control button on the screen, when i tap to those button, the it doesn't raise the event: - (void)remoteControlReceivedWithEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{}

Thanks for your effort.

When I installed on iPad2 of 8.1.1 there is no sound.
Thanks

I am using below function to play sound but if in background music on iPhone playing some songs. Then sound stops music, which is bad user experience.
[[SoundManager sharedManager] playSound:SOUND_SWIPE looping:NO];

This is a great library, thanks! I'm trying to implement a button to toggle all sound effects on/off. I've subclassed SoundManager and called it SoundEffects. However, calling this line doesn't appear to work:

NSInteger volume = [defaults boolForKey:PlayGameSounds] ? 1 : 0;
[SoundEffects sharedManager].soundVolume = volume;

I've stepped through and checked, and the volume is being set to 0. However all sound effects still play. Am I doing something wrong? Could be a subclassing issue?

Hi Nick,

First of all, thanks for the library.

I've developed an app with it, but for some reason, on some devices, it doesn't generate sound unless I plug the headphones.

Have you heard this issue before?

Thanks again.

Is it possible to adjust the pitch of a sound? For example, I could record a "Do" in "Do Re Mi", then I adjust the pitch of the "Do" to create "Do Re Mi Fa So ...".

Hello,
I play a sound first, after that I try to stop sound or all sounds but the soundmanager continue play the sound.
Mac OS 10.9

I mean audio process for different kind of sound effect

Hi:
I download your code to do Playing background audio function. But I find a bug, when I set

[SoundManager sharedManager].allowsBackgroundMusic = YES;

But enter the background, the sound will stop play.

I search some article to solve this problem.You can refer to following articles.

How to handle background audio playing while iOS device is locked or on another application
IOS: Play sound in while app in background

I found your bug code:
- (void)setAllowsBackgroundMusic:(BOOL)allow
{
    if (_allowsBackgroundMusic != allow)
    {

#if TARGET_OS_IPHONE

        _allowsBackgroundMusic = allow;
        AVAudioSession *session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
        [session setCategory:allow? AVAudioSessionCategorySoloAmbient: AVAudioSessionCategorySoloAmbient error:NULL];
#endif

    }
}

You should fix as follow:

AVAudioSession *session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
[session setCategory:allow? AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback: AVAudioSessionCategorySoloAmbient error:NULL];

and in the plist file, add Required background modes key.
