Question

Here is how I play a sound in my app

NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath], @"/sound.wav"];

    SystemSoundID soundID;
    NSURL *filePath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
    AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((__bridge CFURLRef)filePath, &soundID);
    AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(soundID);  

The code above works well in simulator, but not on device. Can you recommend me a simple
way to play sound ? I know about AVAudioPlayer, but I’m looking for something simpler. Like the code above.

Answer 1

This is how I do it and it works fine both on Simulator and real Device

SystemSoundID sounds[10];
NSString *soundPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"applause" ofType:@"mp3"];
CFURLRef soundURL = (__bridge CFURLRef)[NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundPath];
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL, &sounds[0]);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sounds[0]);

Hope this helps
