AVAudioPlayer, a lot of sounds - ios

In my app I use AVAudioPlayer to play some mp3. My code is:
- (void) play{
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",
[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath],
[arraysound objectAtIndex:appDelegate.indexSound]];
NSURL *filePath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
soundID = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:filePath error:nil];
soundID.delegate = self;
[soundID prepareToPlay];
[soundID play];
}
but I have 40 sounds to play; I use everytime soundID to play my sounds
example I have sound1.mp3, sound2.mp3, sound3.mp3......
How can I release my soundId?
When my sound change I call "play" method but this method alloc a new AVAudioPlayer everytime
I Know
- (void) audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying: (AVAudioPlayer *) player
successfully: (BOOL) flag {
but I don't understand how to release my sound id inside this delegate method, because if I release inside soundId my app crash
after some minutes that I use my app I have with crash this message "shm_open failed: "Apple Audio Queue"
please help me...thanks

You don't want to release soundID in your delegate method. You want to release player. Judging from your code, soundID is an ivar. When the delegate gets called, soundID may have been set to another value. But the player parameter will be the AVAudioPlayer that has just finished playing.

How to mute a audio sound when an action is tapped?

Adcolony is a video advert platform integrated into Xcode to play ads to users in video and sound,
One of the requirements is to block audio when the add starts playing,
This is the audio:
//Audio Sound On - uncomment
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"soundTrack"
ofType:#"mp3"]];
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc]
initWithContentsOfURL:url
error:nil];
it starts as soon as the game starts, in view controller,
The triggerVideo action is place in PlayViewController and needs to be set off when ad is triggered,
- (IBAction)TriggerVideo:(id)sender {
[AdColony playVideoAdForZone:#"ZONE-NUMBER-HERE" withDelegate:nil];
}
I've left this aside for a while now, wondering if anyone knows how to employ this function?
add these methods to your viewController that's the delegate for adcolony, which should also be the viewcontroller in which you initialize the AVAudioPlayer. I probably don't need to state this, but i'm assuming you have an #Property for your audioPlayer
- (void) onAdColonyAdStartedInZone:(NSString *)zoneID{
self.audioPlayer.volume = 0.0f;
}
- (void) onAdColonyAdAttemptFinished:(BOOL)shown inZone:(NSString *)zoneID{
self.audioPlayer.volume = 1.0f;
}

Play audio after a Time Interval IOS7

Hi in my application, audio is playing when user press the button but now I have two audio buttons like audio1 and audio2, now I want to play second audio after a time interval once the audio1 is completed by clicking the same button.
- (IBAction)btn1:(id)sender {
NSString *audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"audio" ofType:#"mp3" ];
NSURL *audioURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:audioPath];
NSError *error;
self.audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:audioURL error:&error];
[self.audioPlayer play];
}
The above code I have used for play one audio now I want to play second audio once the first audio completed please tell me how to make it.
Thanks.
Try this:
You have to add a bool variable with the name 'firstAudioPlayed' on start the variable should be NO or FALSE.
- (IBAction)btn1:(id)sender {
if (![self.audioPlayer isPlaying]) {
NSString *audioPath;
if (self.firstAudioPlayed) {
audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"audio2" ofType:#"mp3" ];
} else {
audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"audio1" ofType:#"mp3" ];
}
NSURL *audioURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:audioPath];
NSError *error;
self.audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:audioURL error:&error];
[self.audioPlayer play];
self.firstAudioPlayed = !self.firstAudioPlayed;
}
}
I'm not sure if it's working like this, else just ask with a comment...
Explication of the code:
First you check if the player is already playing a song, if he isn't, you check if the first audio already has played (self.firstAudioPlayed) with this you can give the correct path to load the audio file. Now you play this audio file.
(Sorry for my grammar and my english, corrections are welcome)
You probably should use player's delegate. Set audioPlayer.delegate=self; and implement audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:successfully: method to see when a player finished playing.
Then you can do whatever you want in there, for example start the second audio.

How to Stop the Audio After Coming Back From that audio ViewController IOS7

Hi I'm playing the audio file in one view controller when i going the another view controller its still playing the audio how to pause the audio when we going back to another view controller.
NSString *audioPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"audio" ofType:#"mp3" ];
NSURL *audioURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:audioPath];
NSError *error;
self.audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:audioURL error:&error];
[self.audioPlayer play];
Please tell where i have to put the pause code for the audio when I'm going for another view controller.
Thanks.
in your viewController dealloc method add code to stop your audioPlayer
- (void)dealloc {
if ([self.audioPlayer isPlaying])
[self.audioPlayer stop];
[super dealloc]; // call if you are not using ARC
}
You can also put the stop audio code in ViewWillDisappear method if you are going deeper into heirarchy

Xcode AVAudioPlayer isn't playing

I have a ViewController : GLKViewController
with this code:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"background-music-aac" ofType:#"caf"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
AVAudioPlayer *audio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:data error:nil];
audio.delegate = self;
audio.volume = 1.0;
audio.numberOfLoops = -1;
[audio prepareToPlay];
[audio play];
[self setupContext];
[self setupDisplay];
}
However... my graphical things working fine but the iOS simulator plays no music.
did I something wrong?
Assuming you are using ARC, the player is getting deallocated as soon your method returns to its caller. To quote from this answer:
ARC inserts a release call to the audio player, so it's deallocated right after leaving the method where it is created.
Try implementing the AVAudioPlayer as a property.
If your data is nil, the file was not properly added to the project. To add your file to the project, just drag and drop it and add it to your targets.
Also, AVAudioPlayer has a method, initWithContentsOfURL:, which you might want to use.

Playing audio when a button is pressed

I've been using the following function to play sounds.
- (void) playFile:(NSString *)nameOfFile
{
NSString *tmpFileName = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:nameOfFile];
NSString *fileName = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:tmpFileName
ofType:#"mp3"];
SystemSoundID soundID;
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((__bridge_retained CFURLRef)
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:fileName], &soundID);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound (soundID);
}
I've noticed that if the button that calls this is pressed again, the sound just plays over the top of the existing playing sound. How can I augment this code to stop sounds playing again and instead 'restart' the playing file? Should I play the sounds using a different API?
You can use AVAudioPlayer to do that, just allocate it in your init/viewdidload then when the button is pressed do something like:
[self.player stop]
self.player.currentTime=0;
[self.player play];
