Popping Sound

I appreciate that very similar questions have been asked already, but users of my app have requested certain functionality that simply doesn’t seem possible given the current background mode regulations in iOS. However, many similar apps do have this functionality. So, could it be that I am missing something.Basically, a meditation timer app needs to be able to play bell sounds periodically. Some users, those who meditate for long periods of time for example, like to switch their screens off to preserve the battery charge, and because of that the app needs to play these bell sounds from the background.So far, my solution has been to use Local Notifications to play the sounds as they can be timed accurately and also can play custom sounds.However, there are two issues that my users are unhappy about:1. They want the bell sounds to play even when the silent switch is on (they don't want to be disturbed by other notifications, but do want the meditation bells)2. They want the

Hi,I've tried to get some audio things going on a new Mac mini 8,1 macOS 10.14.2 (18C54), and ran into an issue where there is no output from the built-in audio devices when using AVAudioEngine.Xcode prints this while setting up the AVAudioEngine:[AudioHAL_Client] HALC_ShellDriverPlugIn.cpp:104:Open: HALC_ShellDriverPlugIn::Open: opening the plug-in failed, Error: 2003329396 (what)If the built-in speaker or the headphone jack is selected as sound output device, no sound comes out from my AVAudioEngine app.If I select output via DisplayPort or AirPlay, sound is working, even though above error is also being printed.Here's repo with an example project: https://github.com/nsdvr/avaudioengine_basic_outputIt just plays a .wav file when you press the button. My own project uses a custom AudioUnit generator, and its internalRenderBlock is getting called, so the engine seems to be running fine, there's just silence at the physical outputs.Relevant setup code:- (void) setup

Is it possible to use the javascript Player() api to play a sound file (mp3) in the background just like the background audio element<background> <audio> <asset src=<URL> /> </audio> </background>I am trying to use a catalog template for all the video assets in a show and want to play the show theme music lightly in the background. My challenge is that when the user clicks on a tile for a video I push a new view with all the video information and the background audio element stops since a new view was pushed.My thought was to use the player api, call the music file on the initial view and can stop the player and load the video element when they finally hit the play button on the asset viewer page.The example below works to play audio elements but when the play command is called it takes over the view and I don't see anywhere in the docs where you can call a player with audio assets to play in the background. var

I have an app that produce kind of sounds / music taping buttons. I need to record those sounds as I play with the app. I cannot find any doc or example about this issue. I have tried with many approaches but I couldn't get any good result. Any insight ?

Does anyone else have to put their watch into airplane mode when streaming music via Bluetooth. I have already completely factory reset my watch and iPhone and continue to have this issue. If the watch is allowed to be connected while Bluetooth audio streaming is occurring, the audio becomes choppy.

(OSX Sierra) The only time a banner or sound shows / plays is when the app is not in focus, when in focus a message still appears in the desktop notification center but I would like at least a sound when it arrives, preferably including the alert banner. Any suggestions ?

I am using an AVAudioPlayer to play a tick sound once per second in a SwiftUI app. When running the app on an iPhone 16 (18.2.1) the tick sounds increase in volume after a few seconds. This does not happen in the simulator nor on an iPhone SE 2020 (18.1.1).

When I start the app in iOS 13.X, the Audio Context starts in a state of “suspended”.after the user clicked the “play” button (which has ‘onclick’ or ‘touchend’ event to trigger the context.resume() and wait until resolved), the audio context state turning into ‘running’.Then I use the method ‘createMediaElementSource’ and provide the HTML audio element and connect the source to the context.destination, but it doesn’t make any difference, because the audio fails to put out any sound.However, in iOS 12.X it works, so I can assume that the nodes connected properly.Is there something else i should do to make it work on iOS 13?Thanks in advance.

Issue with sound

Hi everyone, I’m running an iPhone X on the latest beta of iOS , Is anyone experiencing and sound issues with Apple Airpods ? Connecting fine however all music and podcasts are playing at a very low volume when connected . Thanks C

One of the users of an app I have developed tells me that a Redeem Code window is popping up every time he starts the app. I have not seen this in any of the testing I have done. How do I make sure that this pop up window will not appear? (The app is a fixed price app without in In-App Purchase or Subscription.)

I have a system sound( eg: Voicemail.caf) to play through AVAudioPlayer.It has different location in iPhone and iPad /System/Library/Audio.Is there a interface to get path of system sound directly rather than browsing through system directories.If not, could we include this sound file in our app bundle(eg. Resources). Are there chances of App rejection/licensing part if we do so?

Hi, what is the best approach of customising the sound (notification) and haptic feedback on apple watch 6 and later? I wonder if I can play a sound/haptic feedback when receiving a remote (can be silent?) notification to apple watch? Thanks

Hello,We are currently evaluating the possibility to port our Android app “SoniControl” to iOS. SoniControl is an ultrasonic firewall. It records audio in the background and looks for ultrasonic messages (e.g. Google Nearby messages) in the audio signal in the frequency range from 17-22kHz. Frequencies below 17kHz are removed by a bandpass filter. In case a message is detected, the app offers the user the option to block it. The main goal is to raise awareness and inform users about apps that use “data-over-sound” technologies like Google Nearby or Lisnr. These technologies use the microphone and loudspeaker of a smartphone to receive or send data over audio. Our current users let the app run in the background all day long, we show a notification in the status bar to remind them that it is running and is using battery (on iOS the status bar would turni red as when you use the Voice Memo app in the background).Before implementing the firewall for iOS we want to ask the follo

I'm building an app that will allow users to record voice notes. The functionality of all that is working great; I'm trying to now implement changes to the AudioSession to manage possible audio streams from other apps. I want it so that if there is audio playing from a different app, and the user opens my app; the audio keep playing. When we start recording, any third party app audio should stop, and can then can resume again when we stop recording. This is my main audio setup code: private var audioEngine: AVAudioEngine! private var inputNode: AVAudioInputNode! func setupAudioEngine() { audioEngine = AVAudioEngine() inputNode = audioEngine.inputNode audioPlayerNode = AVAudioPlayerNode() audioEngine.attach(audioPlayerNode) let format = AVAudioFormat(standardFormatWithSampleRate: AUDIO_SESSION_SAMPLE_RATE, channels: 1) audioEngine.connect(audioPlayerNode, to: audioEngine.mainMixerNode, format: format) } private func setupAudioSession() { let audioSession = AVAudioSe
