No sound on some devices

[fpena]

Hi Nick,

First of all, thanks for the library.

I've developed an app with it, but for some reason, on some devices, it doesn't generate sound unless I plug the headphones.

Have you heard this issue before?

Thanks again.

No - which specific devices are you seeing this on?

It may be that you need to change the default audio route. I'll see if there's a simple way to handle that within the library.

It is very rare and I haven't experienced that personally. It seems some
people can't hear external sound but when plugging headphones, everything
is ok.

Looking forward if you find a way to change the default audio route.

Thanks.

@fpena I had many people with the same issue... 90% of the time (with the iPad in particular) they didn't realise that they had the mute switch enabled or they didn't know what was it for... unbelievable! :)
Some then argued that the audio was ok in other apps. That happens because there are ways to play sounds and media files that ignore the mute setting.

Yes. That's exactly what happened. It's ok. I'm working with MIDI so only
need the library for specific sounds. Thanks Andrea!

Hi! I had this happen very often (maybe after iOS 8.1 ? It didn't happen before Xcode 6 for sure)
The sounds won't play in the speaker, unless I plug the earphone, and THEN if I take it out, the speakers will play audio.
My usage is as follows:

[SoundManager sharedManager].allowsBackgroundMusic = YES;
[[SoundManager sharedManager] prepareToPlay];
[[SoundManager sharedManager] playSound:fileName looping:NO]
