MediaPlayback should do this as well and in our test cases it does. We are still investigating why John's case is failing.

Play and Record is fine, but if you aren't doing input, you shouldn't use this category, media playback is what you should use

Yeah, it is pretty easy to have it pause when the phone is locked. The trick I am trying to accomplish is having the sound continue to play while the iphone is locked. With the MediaPlayback category, you are supposed to be able to continue playing while the device is locked. But for some reason, when the device is locked, the AURenderCallback stops being called. I filed a bug on it (radar #7408577).

hey john,

had the same issue as you today so i got out your project and fixed it
there. nice to work in a simple test case.


how i worked around it was to start the audio with
AudioOutputUnitStart(au_output); from the

- (void) applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application method

and stop it in the with AudioOutputUnitStop(au_output); in the

- (void) applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application

this way whenever the app becomes disabled due to lock the audio
render stops and when it gets unlocked it begins playing again.
In my other project i use AUGraphStop(graph); and AUGraphStart (graph);
in a similiar fashion.


dont know if this is the official party line, but it works for me

Hmmm....I hacked up my code and inserted it into a new project (the OpenGL ES template). Same behavior. The meat and potatoes are in a file called audio.cpp.

You can grab the test project here:
<http://evolutioninteractive.com/stuff/audiotest.zip>

Someone mentioned that they saw similar issues related to doing too much work, so this test just outputs silence (a simple memset () with the kAudioUnitRenderAction_OutputIsSilence hint).

So, what this app does is just dump a "." out to the console for each call into the RenderCallback. When you start up the app, it will start with the debug output (making big strings of periods). When you hit the lock button, the output will stop. When you unlock it, it will start up again. This is the crux of the problem. When the device locks, the sound keeps playing, but the RenderCallback isn't called to refresh the buffer, so it just keeps playing the same (last filled) buffer over and over. And this is with the category set to MediaPlayback.


Thanks, John Morris Evolution Interactive
