Hi,

I am working on a TVML App with a ProductBundleTemplate.

<productBundleTemplate>
        <background>
            <audio>
                <asset src="path to mp3"/>
            </audio>
        </background>

I've added an Background Audio and it works fine, the only Issue is it is very loud.

Is there a way to control the volume of the Background Audio in TVML? So that it only plays 50% of the volume or so?

Currently, there is no way to programmatically control the volume. There was a property on MPMusicPlayerController, that allowed volume control, however this has been deprecated since iOS 7.

I recommend changing the volume of the mp3 file (or whichever file type you are using). There's a way to do this in iTunes. Select your file, control-click -> Get Info -> Options tab, and there will a "volume adjust" slider that you can use. If you don't use iTunes, there are some sites online that will allow you to change the volume as well.

Hope that helps!
