I have this code to play a sound but the first time you play it it takes a good 5 seconds to load...
How can I speed this up?
-(IBAction)playSound{ //play the cricket noise
NSString *soundPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Cricket_Sound" ofType:#"mp3"];
audioPlayer =[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundPath] error:NULL];
audioPlayer.delegate = self;
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = 0;
[audioPlayer play];
}
You can try by putting the following section of your code in viewDidLoad so that the audioPlayer instance is ready to play before it is asked to actually play the audio:
NSString *soundPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Cricket_Sound" ofType:#"mp3"];
audioPlayer =[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundPath] error:NULL];
audioPlayer.delegate = self;
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = 0;

I want to play BGM. The below code plays BGM on only 64bit mode. What should I do?
- (void)playBgmLoop
{
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"aikatsu" ofType:#"mp3"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
audio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil];
// Infinite loop
audio.numberOfLoops = -1;
[audio play];
}
#end
Thank you for your help.
I'm trying to play an audio file when a button is tapped.
If I step through my code it works, but if I just tap on the button no sound is played.
Here is my code:
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:nil];
AVAudioPlayer * player;
NSString * path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"soundOne" ofType:#"mp3"];
NSURL * url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil];
[player play];
Is this the appropriate way to play audio? Nothing is being flagged as being deprecated.
I also see this message in the debugger:
AudioQueue: request to trim 0 + 2690 = 2690 frames from buffer containing 1152 frames
EDIT:
This code works.
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"soundOne"
ofType:#"mp3"];
NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:filePath];
self.audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc]
initWithContentsOfURL:fileURL error:nil];
[self.audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
self.audioPlayer.currentTime = 0;
[self.audioPlayer play];
How can I play audio with the mute button on?
Here is the code I have tried for this:
CFStringRef state;
UInt32 propertySize = sizeof(CFStringRef);
OSStatus audioStatus = AudioSessionGetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRoute, &propertySize, &state);
if (audioStatus == kAudioSessionNoError) {
//NSLog(#"audio route: %#", state);
return (CFStringGetLength(state) <+ 0);
}
return NO;
Stick this before you call play:
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:&error];
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive:YES error:&error];
That should do it.
I have a class that provides a Music Player, compiled under ARC. This is the init code:
- (id) init{
self = [super init];
runningVolumeNotification = FALSE;
MPMusicPlayerController *musicPlayer = [MPMusicPlayerController iPodMusicPlayer];
systemVolume = musicPlayer.volume;
NSString *myExamplePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"servo" ofType:#"mp3"];
AVAudioPlayer* p = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:myExamplePath] error:NULL];
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient error:nil];
[p prepareToPlay];
[p stop];
return self;
}
Instruments reports a 100% leak on the line:
AVAudioPlayer* p = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:myExamplePath] error:NULL];
I can't figure out where the problem is!
Hi i am trying to play many sounds using AVAudioPlayer and foundation.
The code is this
- (IBAction)pushButton19 {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"The Terminator" ofType:#"mp3"];
AVAudioPlayer* theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
theAudio.delegate = self;
[theAudio play];
}
- (IBAction)pushButton20 {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"The Wizard of Oz" ofType:#"mp3"];
AVAudioPlayer* theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
theAudio.delegate = self;
[theAudio play];
}
on the line theAudio.delegate = self;
it says
class * does not implement the
protocol
as well as
Semantic Issue Assigning to ID
from
incompatible type MainView *
what do i need to do to fix it and can u show me the correct code as im a noob at this?
Your controller must conforms to the AVAudioPlayerDelegate protocol and implements its necessary methods. This is a sample code for playing sound.
I am trying to setup a stopwatch alarm that is enabled via UISwitch. I want the alarm to be triggered after an x amount of secs after the timer has started. I have an ivar int variable (timerCount) that holds the amount of secs that has passed and I want to play a sound based on that ivar. When the timer begins and I enable the switch I would hope that the player would fire at 10 secs, but that is not the case. I know the "if statement" is the culprit because when I remove it the AVPlayer will play the wav file when the switch is enabled. I just need another set of eyeballs to look at this and figure out what I missed.
Here is the code snippet:
- (IBAction)timerSound{
if (voiceSwitch.on){
NSString *soundFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"horn"
ofType:#"wav"];
NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:soundFilePath];
player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: fileURL error: nil];
if (timerCount == 10)
[self.player play];
}
else {
[self.player stop];
}
}
You are looking for playAt:.
Example based on yours –
- (IBAction)valueChanged:(id)sender {
UISwitch *aSwitch = (UISwitch*)sender;
if ( aSwitch.on ) {
NSString *soundFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"horn"
ofType:#"wav"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundFilePath];
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:fileURL
error:nil];
[audioPlayer playAtTime:(audioPlayer.deviceCurrentTime + 3)];
} else {
[audioPlayer stop];
}
}
- (void)audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:(AVAudioPlayer *)player successfully:(BOOL)flag {
[self.theSwitch setOn:NO animated:YES];
[player release];
}
