When a call is in progress (sent or received) the speakerphone is engaged already, and the speakerphone button does not react to presses to turn it off.
Is there a way to toggle it in code or enable it to be toggled in the UI? I believe this UI is Apple's core audio phone call UI.
This happens with Twilio's quickstart demo code from here:
https://github.com/twilio/voice-quickstart-swift
Try the following to force output to speaker:
if !session.overrideOutputAudioPort(AVAudioSessionPortOverride.Speaker, error:&error) {
println("could not set output to speaker")
if let e = error {
println(e.localizedDescription)
}
}
SWIFT 3.0
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord, mode: AVAudioSessionModeVoiceChat, options: .mixWithOthers)
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().overrideOutputAudioPort(.none)
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
Overide output port to none.
SWIFT 4
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playAndRecord, mode: AVAudioSession.Mode.voiceChat, options: .mixWithOthers)
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().overrideOutputAudioPort(.none)
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
You can try below code snippet
func moveToVoiceCall() {
audioDevice.block = {
DefaultAudioDevice.DefaultAVAudioSessionConfigurationBlock()
do {
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setMode(.voiceChat)
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().overrideOutputAudioPort(.none)
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
audioDevice.block();
}

AudioKit 4.9.3
iOS 11+
I am working on a project where the user is recording on the device using the microphone and it continues to record, even if the app is in the background. This works fine but when receiving a phone call I get an AudioKit error. I assume it has something to do with the phone taking over the mic or something. here is the error:
[avae] AVAEInternal.h:109
[AVAudioEngineGraph.mm:1544:Start: (err = PerformCommand(*ioNode,
kAUStartIO, NULL, 0)): error 561017449
AudioKit+StartStop.swift:restartEngineAfterRouteChange(_:):198:error
restarting engine after route change
basically everything that i have recording up until that point is lost.
here is my set up AudioKit code:
func configureAudioKit() {
AKSettings.audioInputEnabled = true
AKSettings.defaultToSpeaker = true
do {
try try audioSession.setCategory((AVAudioSession.Category.playAndRecord), options: AVAudioSession.CategoryOptions.mixWithOthers)
try audioSession.setActive(true)
audioSession.requestRecordPermission({ allowed in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if allowed {
print("Audio recording session allowed")
self.configureAudioKitSession()
} else {
print("Audio recoding session not allowed")
}
}
})
} catch let error{
print("Audio recoding session not allowed: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
func configureAudioKitSession() {
isMicPresent = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().isInputAvailable
if !isMicPresent {
return
}
print("mic present and configuring audio session")
mic = AKMicrophone()
do{
let _ = try AKNodeRecorder(node: mic)
let recorderGain = AKBooster(mic, gain: 0)
AudioKit.output = recorderGain
//try AudioKit.start()
}
catch let error{
print("configure audioKit error: ", error)
}
}
and when tapping on the record button code:
do {
audioRecorder = try AVAudioRecorder(url: actualRecordingPath, settings: audioSettings)
audioRecorder?.record()
//print("Recording: \(isRecording)")
do{
try AudioKit.start()
}
catch let error{
print("Cannot start AudioKit", error.localizedDescription)
}
}
Current audio Settings:
private let audioSettings = [
AVFormatIDKey : Int(kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC),
AVSampleRateKey : 44100,
AVNumberOfChannelsKey : 2,
AVEncoderAudioQualityKey : AVAudioQuality.medium.rawValue
]
What can I do to ensure that I can get a proper recording, even when receiving a phone call? The error happens as soon as you receive the call - whether you choose to answer it or decline.
Any thoughts?
I've done work in this area, I'm afraid you cannot access the microphone(s) while a call or a VOIP call is in progress.
This is a basic privacy measure that is enforced by iOS for self-evident reasons.
AudioKit handles only the basic route change handling for an audio playback app. We've found that when an app becomes sufficiently complex, the framework can't effectively predestine the appropriate course of action when interruptions occur. So, I would suggest turning off AudioKit's route change handling and respond to the notifications yourself.
Also, I would putting AudioKit activation code in a button.
I have a VOIP app implemented using the Sinch SDK and CallKit. Everything works fine, apart from when the device has headphones plugged in. In the latter case, when the call starts, audio is still routed through the main speaker of the device. If I unplug and plug the headphones back in - during the call -, audio is then correctly routed to the headphones.
All I am doing is
func provider(_ provider: CXProvider, perform action: CXAnswerCallAction) {
guard let c = self.currentCall else {
action.fail()
return
}
c.answer()
self.communicationClient.audioController().configureAudioSessionForCallKitCall()
action.fulfill()
}
Shouldn't this be taken care automatically by the OS?
It seems like the Sinch SDK overrides the output audio port. Try to run this code just after the audio session has been configured:
do {
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().overrideOutputAudioPort(.none)
} catch {
print("OverrideOutputAudioPort failed: \(error)")
}
If it doesn't work, try to configure the audio session by yourself, instead of relying on Sinch SDK if you can. Replace the configureAudioSessionForCallKitCall call with something like this:
let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
do {
try session.setCategory(
.playAndRecord,
mode: .voiceChat,
options: [.allowBluetooth, .allowBluetoothA2DP])
try session.setActive(true)
} catch {
print("Unable to activate audio session: \(error)")
}
Is there an audioManager class in iOS as in Android so that I can set my phone call in speaker mode automatically?
audioManager = AudioManager()
audioManager.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE)
audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL)
audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true)
You can change the output route of the current audio temporarily using the following method
do {
let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
try audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord)
//Set the category as per your requirement
try audioSession.overrideOutputAudioPort(AVAudioSessionPortOverride.speaker)
// or AVAudioSessionPortOverride.none to disable the speaker
}
catch let error{
print(error)
}
I need to implement iPhone speaker (ear and bottom) change during audio call (using TwilioVideo SDK for connection)
Mine code:
let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
do {
if isSpeaker == false {
try audioSession.overrideOutputAudioPort(.speaker)
isSpeaker = true
} else {
try audioSession.overrideOutputAudioPort(.none)
isSpeaker = false
}
try audioSession.setActive(true)
} catch {
handleError(error.localizedDescription)
}
It works without any exceptions, but don't change audio output speaker
Twilio developer evangelist here.
You should not use AVAudioSession APIs directly with Twilio Video. Instead, you should use the TVIAudioController and set the audioOutput property to one of the options enumerated in TVIAudioOutput.
TVIAudioController.sharedController().audioOutput = .TVIAudioOutputVideoChatSpeaker
Let me know if that helps.
I am using an AVAudioEngine object, that has many AVAudioPlayerNodes attached to it. The audio all works fine, except it stops any audio that the iPhone is playing in the background (i. e. from iTunes or another music app).
When my app is opened, it stops any other background audio. Is there a way to allow background audio to continue to play? Even when my app is using AVAudioPlayerNodes to play audio itself?
Music App has it's own audioSession, that makes audio engine stops, i had that problem too, please restart after music app.
func stepB_startEngine(){
if engine.running == false {
do { try engine.start() }
catch let error {
print(error)
}
}
}
setup audioSettion also:
func setUpAudioSession(){
do {
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.ambient, options: .mixWithOthers)
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation)
} catch let error {
print(error)
}
}
