Question

I am trying to make the audio record and play back at the same time. Here is the code. It will only record and play back later. I want it to play back simultaneously over the speakers. Any help. I am not even sure I am using the right classes.

 AVAudioSession * audioSession = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];

[audioSession setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord error:nil];
[audioSession setActive:YES error:nil];

    temporaryRecFile = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithString:@"VoiceFile"]]];

    recorder = [[AVAudioRecorder alloc] initWithURL:temporaryRecFile settings:nil error:nil];

    [recorder setDelegate:self];
    [recorder prepareToRecord];
    [recorder record];

    AVAudioPlayer * player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:temporaryRecFile error:nil];
    player.volume = 1;
    [player play];

Answer 1

Are you recording from the iPhone microphone? Chances are you’ll get feedback if you try to play the recording back while recording it. The microphone will hear what the speakers are playing and rerecord it at a slight delay. This would snowball until your recording sounds like a train wreck.
