I disabled the "Mute other Audio Sources" option in the iOS player settings, but still every time I start my game the background music (e.g. Spotify) is being paused. Strangely, on Android is everything working fine.
Any ideas?
Looks like an issue with this Unity release, I voted on it here and waiting for Unity to fix it.

I'm using Videogular2 in an Angular/Cordova/Ionic3 project, where I play mp3 audio live streams. All works good with mp3 and mp4, on browser and iOS simulator.
When the user Lock The Screen in iOS Device I expect that the audio continues to play in a background mode, but on IOS when the user Lock The Screen audio stop to play.
I've tested on XCODE 8 to set 'Capabilities' tab adding 'audio' parameter, I've added cordova-plugin-backgroundaudio to the project without success.
On iOS Simulator it works well, the problem occurs only on iOS Device.
Tested on iPhone 6 & iPad 3.
I'm using:
iOS 10.3.3
XCODE 8.3.3
Ionic 3.12.1
Videogular2 5.4.11
No one else used videogular2 on cordova/ionic?
In iOS app audio won't be playing in background when the device is locked. For that you have to enable the background mode for the app. I had faced the same issue in one of my application (I was using different audio plugin).
In order to enable background mode in iOS you can use below plugin
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/background-mode/. When you start playing the audio you just need to call backgroundMode.enable() to keep it playing in background. When you leave the audio player page if want you can disable background mode to avoid unnecessarily keeping the background mode on by calling backgroundMode.disable().
Additionally you need to enable the background audio feature in xcode project settings as shown in below link.

I'm developing a casual game for iOS with the Unity3D engine.
Whenever my game is launched, the background music being played on the device (e.g.: Spotify, iTunes, etc.) is ducked. This is undesired because my game does not have any fancy sound effects, I' like to allow my players to keep listening to their music in the 'normal' volume.
For testing purposes I created an empty project in Unity3D, ensuring the Override iPad Music setting is unchecked in the iOS Build Settings. This is enough to reproduce the audio ducking issue.
INFO:
Unity 5.4.x (also occurs with Unity 5.3.x)
Xcode 8
iOS 9 and iOS 10
Does anyone know how disable Unity3D's default audio ducking?
Add an Audio mixer to the output of your audio source. On the Audio mixer in the project tab, click the drop down then click on master. Finally increase the attenuation volume to a level your feel satisfied with. Then you are good to go.
Im having difficulties trying to resume live stream playback from previously paused moment.
On iOS 9.2 and below player continued to play from paused moment.
On iOS 9.3 and above, when i resume playing, i receive "playerBufferEmpty" and AVPlayerItemTimeJumpedNotification, and as a result playback doesnt continue from the paused moment.
This looks like an issue in AVPlayer since everything works on iOS versions 9.2 and below. I also tried playerItem.canUseNetworkResourcesForLiveStreamingWhilePaused , but it doesnt help.
Are there any changes in AVPlayer/AVPlayerItem regarding this from iOS 9.2 to iOS 9.3?
Thanks!
I am using the ionic framework to record audio using the Media object. It was working fine but with recent iOS updates now after recording something and releasing the Media object, the sound is disabled in my app until I crash it. No sound will play form any other part of the app and the + - volume controls on the side of the phone produce no volume overlay. I don't understand enough about iOS to know what's going on.
Any help is appreciated.
I’m developing a WebRadio application in qml for iOS devices with Qt 5.2. To play the audio stream I use the MediaPlayer type which works fine.
However, in iOS, when I switch to another application or go back to home (in other words when the app go to background) the sound stops, but I want it to continue playing.
I know how to do it in objective-C by activating the AVAudioSession and add the audio background mode the info.plist file.
But I really don't know how to do it in qml.
Can someone help ?
You can add the audio background mode to the info.plist file or via the capabilities tab in Xcode.
