SKTAudio Class :
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
public class Singleton {
// Initialize
public var backgroundMusicPlayer: AVAudioPlayer?
public var soundEffectCatchObject: AVAudioPlayer?
//public var soundEffectGameOver: AVAudioPlayer?
//public var soundEffectClickedButton: AVAudioPlayer?
public class func sharedInstance() -> Singleton {
return SingletonInstance
}
// ---------------------------------------------
// Play Background Music
// ---------------------------------------------
func playBackgroundMusic() {
let url = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("Unity.mp3", withExtension: nil)
guard let newURL = url else {
print("Could not find file: \("Unity.mp3")")
return
}
do {
backgroundMusicPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: newURL)
backgroundMusicPlayer!.numberOfLoops = -1
backgroundMusicPlayer!.prepareToPlay()
backgroundMusicPlayer!.play()
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error.description)
}
}
func pauseBackgroundMusic() {
backgroundMusicPlayer!.pause()
}
func resumeBackgroundMusic() {
backgroundMusicPlayer!.play()
}
// ---------------------------------------------
// Play Sound Effect Catch Object
// ---------------------------------------------
func playSoundEffectCatchObject() {
let url = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("Magical Echo Spell 03.wav", withExtension: nil)
guard let newURL = url else {
print("Could not find file: \("Magical Echo Spell 03.wav")")
return
}
do {
let error: NSError? = nil
soundEffectCatchObject = try! AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: newURL)
if let player = soundEffectCatchObject {
player.numberOfLoops = 0
player.prepareToPlay()
player.play()
} else {
print("Could not create audio player: \(error!)")
}
}
func pauseSoundEffectCatchObject() {
if let player = soundEffectCatchObject {
if player.playing {
player.pause()
}
}
}
func resumeSoundEffectCatchObject() {
if let player = soundEffectCatchObject {
if player.playing {
player.play()
}
}
}
}
}
let SingletonInstance = Singleton()
I have button that pause/resume in main scene.
the button works perfectly , but i can't stop my sound effect, i tried.
Main Scene
if(SoundOnOff.containsPoint(location)) {
if (Singleton.sharedInstance().backgroundMusicPlayer?.playing == true) {
Singleton.sharedInstance().pauseBackgroundMusic()
Singleton.sharedInstance().pauseSoundEffectCatchObject()
self.SoundOnOff.texture = SKTexture(imageNamed:"MusicOff.png")
} else {
Singleton.sharedInstance().resumeBackgroundMusic()
Singleton.sharedInstance().resumeSoundEffectCatchObject()
self.SoundOnOff.texture = SKTexture(imageNamed:"MusicOn.png")
}
}

So create a sound playing singleton. Give it methods to start and stop the 2 sound effects. Since it's a singleton you can call it from anywhere in your program.
