Play sound repeatedly when tapping a button - ios

Question

I am trying to add sound to my app. I would like it for when I tap a button, it plays a quick sound. However, when the button is tapped quickly and repeatedly, the sound does not work as well (It only plays 1 or 2 times when I tap the button 5 or 6 times). Here is my code in the button
player.play()
I have this outside
var player = AVAudioPlayer()
let audioPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("illuminati", ofType: "wav")
Viewdidload:
do {
try player = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: NSURL(fileURLWithPath: audioPath!))
} catch {}
How can I play the sound repeatedly better? Thanks.

Answer 1

The problem is that you are calling the play multiple time before the previous call finished. You need to keep track of how many times the user click the button and the play song one by one.
This is what you can do:
Use an integer in you class to keep track of number of times that the button is clicked
var numClicks = 0
var buttonClickTime:NSDate? = nil // The last time when the button is clicked
#IBAction func yourbuttonclickfunction() {
numClicks++;
buttonClickTime = NSDate()
player.play()
}
Register the delegate of AVAudioPlayerDelegate
do {
try player = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: NSURL(fileURLWithPath: audioPath!))
// Add this
player.delegate = self
} catch {}
In the delegate function, play the song again when the previous one reach the end:
optional func audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying(_ player: AVAudioPlayer,
successfully flag: Bool)
{
if --numClicks > 0
{
let now = NSDate()
let duration = now.timeIntervalSinceDate(buttonClickTime!)
// If the button click was less than 0.5 seconds before
if duration < 0.5
{
// Play the song again
player.play();
}
}
}

Answer 2

The reason your sound only plays a few time is because the song plays until finished or until you stop it, even if you press the button multiple times in succession.
You could just stop the music manually, so before you press a button that plays a sound you say
player.stop()
and than
player.play()
Is that helping?
