Question

I have a simple set of FMOD actions that each play various sounds separately. The problem comes in that I have a button that stops all the sounds. FMOD crashes my program if we try to stop a sound that isn’t playing. Makes sense. But I’ve decided that there has to be a way to call a simple if statement to find out “if” and only “if” somethings playing, then stop it.

- (IBAction)myButton:(id)sender {


    if "FMOD CHANNEL IS PLAYING" {

        result = fmodChannel->stop();

    }

}

Any help would be appreciated.

I wouldn’t say it “makes sense” that FMOD crashes if you call stop on a channel that isn’t playing. It’s documented to return an error code on failure. Are you sure fmodChannel is still a valid pointer when you call stop?

Anyway, you can try the isPlaying method:

bool isPlaying;
if (fmodChannel->isPlaying(&isPlaying) == FMOD_OK && isPlaying) {
    fmodChannel->stop();
}
