I am using the current version of the SoundManager, which is awesome by the way, but I keep getting crackle and pop sounds in the audio playback.

I have read that this may be due to Apple implementation of OpenAL.

Is anyone else experiencing these problems? If so, are there any solutions?

I am using Little-Endian 16-bit 44,100 sample rate caf format sounds, no phasing or volume control, just static playback.

Cheers.

Any idea why this (playing a track) would be crashing an app (debug/dist/release) ONLY when installed on a device, and ONLY when the debugger is running? Seems to work fine in Simulator, and on a device when running without the debugger.

First of all, awesome code! Thank you!

I am using the sound manager to play a bunch of sounds in my app. It works perfectly, with 1 exception.

When the app goes into the background, the buffer is eventually cleared (does not happen straight away). So when the app tries to play a sound after coming into the foreground, nothing happens. No sound at all.

I have tried putting all my sounds back into the buffer when the app reopens, but this doesn’t seem to work?

Any ideas?

You pass a NSUInteger for your aSourceID then immediately check to see if it’s -1 ? doesn’t the U mean unsigned?

Hi All,

I need help with this soundmanager class I am getting the following error:

INFO – SoundManager: Loaded sound with key ‘booo’ into buffer ’2416′
INFO – SoundManager: Loaded sound with key ‘congrats’ into buffer ’2417′
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘NSRangeException’, reason: ‘*** -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)

This occurs when I am trying to play a sound with -1 as sourceID, with any other number I get no error, but I dont listen anything.

Background Music works perfectly. Here is my code:

SoundManager *sm = [SoundManager sharedSoundManager];
[sm init];
//[sm loadBackgroundMusicWithKey:@"intro" musicFile:@"BackgroundTango.mp3"];
[sm loadSoundWithKey:@"booo" musicFile:@"booo.wav"];
[sm loadSoundWithKey:@"congrats" musicFile:@"win.wav"];
//[sm setListenerPosition:CGPointMake(0,0)];
[sm setFxVolume:1.0];
[sm playSoundWithKey:@"booo" gain:1.0f pitch:1.0f location:CGPointMake(0, 0) shouldLoop:NO sourceID:-1];

Help please! :)

Hi hbr

Unfortunately not. This class is just for playing local sound files. I think you would need to make use of AudioFileStreams in the SDK.

hi,

Can this class be used to stream a radio instead of reading a single file ?
