Question

Considering the code:

    soundFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"Sound"    ofType: @"wav"];    
    fileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath: soundFilePath];   
    avPlayerNextLevel = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: fileURL  error: nil];
    avPlayerNextLevel1.volume = volume ;
    [soundFilePath release];
    [fileURL release];

To play the sound I then do

    if([avPlayerNextLevel prepareToPlay]){
        [avPlayerNextLevel play];
    }   

I do this many times within my game. Sometimes on the simulator , the sound stops playing. And when sometimes I detect memory leaks with AvAudioPlayer.

Does everything look alright with my code ?

You’ll need to release the instance of AVAudioPlayer that you created. Since the above code sets the delegate to self, just implement the following method and release there:

    - (void)audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:(AVAudioPlayer *)player successfully:(BOOL)flag {
    NSLog(@"Audio finished playing.");
    [player release];
}
